Goddess of fortune. Roman, I-III century.
Bronze.
Provenance: Private collection of Andre and François Kostolany.
André Kostolany (1906-1999) was an investor, economist and writer born in Budapest (then Austro-Hungarian Empire) and naturalized French. He became famous for his psychological and philosophical approach to financial markets.
Measurements: 7 cm. height; 8,8 cm. with pedestal.
Small bronze sculpture representing Fortuna, a Roman divinity associated with destiny and prosperity, very present in the domestic sphere and in the lararia. The figure appears standing, wrapped in a mantle of schematic folds, probably holding a cornucopia, symbol of abundance.
The modeling is simple and functional, typical of small votive productions, where the symbolic value prevails. It preserves a dark patina with greenish shades.
