Among these motifs, the depiction of birds holds particular significance in Roman art. Birds were commonly featured in Roman mosaics for their symbolic meanings, which varied depending on the species portrayed. The birds motif in Roman mosaics served both decorative and symbolic purposes, enriching the visual appeal of the artwork while conveying deeper layers of meaning to the viewer. In Roman art, birds were frequently associated with themes of freedom, transcendence, and divine communication. Depictions of birds such as doves, eagles, and peacocks symbolized different aspects of Roman society and belief systems. For example, doves were often associated with peace and love, while eagles were emblematic of power and authority, often representing the Roman state and its military prowess.

Roman military helmet face mask fragment with Jupiter's eagle

ITEM Military helmet face mask fragment with Jupiter's eagle MATERIAL Bronze CULTURE Roman PERIOD 3rd Century A.D DIMENSIONS 180 mm x 123 mm CONDITION Good condition PROVENANCE Ex Alison Barker private collection, a retired London barrister, acquired between 1960s - 1990s BIBLIOGRAPHY RUCINSKI, E., Get the picture?: Iconography of cheek pieces on Roman Imperial cavalry helmets, Journal of Roman Military Equipment Studies Roman military equipment is famous for its abundance of depictions rife with symbolical content. The so-called cavalry sports equipment, which used to be seen as being solely parade armour, can be distinguished from the infantry equipment not only by its function, but also by its design. There are numerous surviving heavily ornamented parts of Roman cavalry equipment and a number of studies have been published on their purpose and decoration. Whether the ornamented equipment belonged to parade armour or was also worn in battle is still under discussion. One of those groups contains the helmets, of which a relatively large number of different variations exist. Apart from the calotte with its neck guard, the loosely attached cheek pieces were also an essential part of the helmet. Cheek pieces as protective elements were used both for infantry and cavalry helmets. Read the full article

山口と広島でのほぼ同時の展覧会終了。季節柄か旅行なのか今回はお客さん少な目のなか、新たに興味持ってくださった方々と中々濃密な時間を持てて良かった…が1月分位喋ったので少々喉が痛い。またどちらの両会場でも鬼がすごい評判が高かったのが少し不思議でもある。随分居なくなったので召喚しないといけない。そして今度は約1ヶ月後で１年ぶりの津市だ #ceramicobjects #artceramic #artdoll #ceramicsculpture #ceramicart #monsterart #oni #oniart#onisculpture #artobject#craftart#sculpture #artgallery #ceramicsart #art #artobject #figureart #鬼 https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6sNkRrBXb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
