Lot Essay

For a related stand with three worshippers, see the example in the George Ortiz Collection, no. 14 in In Pursuit of the Absolute: Art of the Ancient World. Also compare a Bactrian Bronze Votive Macehead with three crouching male figures whose facial features recall those on the present example (Antiquities, Christie's, London, 3 July 2024, lot 69).
