Lot 16:
A Large Copper Alloy Hellenistic Style Medallion Depicting Alexander the Great as Zeus Ammon
Description
A large, circular medallion cast in a copper alloy with a bronze-toned finish. The obverse features a high-relief profile portrait of a male figure facing right, characterised by elaborate ram horns integrated into the hair, a classical representation of Alexander the Great as Zeus Ammon. The reverse is flat and shows a mottled, oxidized surface with significant degradation and no discernible inscriptions or designs. The medallion is manufactured by casting, evidenced by the rounded, slightly irregular edges and the texture of the relief. The item lacks any maker’s marks, signatures, or inscriptions.
Diameter: 55 mm.
