注意事項

Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country. On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. ƒ: In addition to the regular Buyer’s premium, a commission of 5.5% inclusive of VAT of the hammer price will be charged to the buyer. It will be refunded to the Buyer upon proof of export of the lot outside the European Union within the legal time limit. (Please refer to section VAT refunds) This item will be transferred to an offsite warehouse after the sale. Please refer to department for information about storage charges and collection details.

Cybèle, connue sous l’appellation de « Grande Mère des Dieux », était une déesse-mère d’Anatolie adoptée aussi bien par les Grecs que par les Romains. Invoquée comme symbole de maternité universelle, elle jouait le rôle de parent pour les dieux, les humains et les animaux. Comme le montre le présent lot, elle est généralement représentée conduisant un char tiré par deux lions, symbolisant sa domination sur la nature sauvage.

Cybele, known as the 'Great Mother of the Gods’, was an Anatolian mother goddess adopted by both the Greeks and Romans. Evoked as a symbol of universal motherhood, she served as the parent of gods, mortals, and beasts. As seen in the present lot, she is most often depicted driving a chariot drawn by two lions, symbolic of her dominion over wild nature.
