Greek wall sconce. 3rd–2nd centuries B.C. Bronze. Weight: 37 grams. Length: 99 mm. Provenance: Family bequest from Ramon Martí Alsina and Ricard Martí Aguiló. Archaeological collection assembled beginning in the 1950s by successive generations of the family through purchases at European galleries and auction houses. Greek wall sconce from the Parthian provinces (from Turkey to Iran), dated to the 3rd–2nd centuries B.C. The figure depicts a standing figure in profile with a short beard and teased hair, wearing a headdress and a draped toga, representing a nobleman or high-ranking dignitary. The arm is extended forward, and on the back, there are remnants of the mounting to which it was attached. It likely belonged to a brooch or clasp, with a pin on the back.
