ROMAN LEAD SARCOPHAGUS PANEL, EX-ARTE PRIMITIVORoman, Holy Land / Phoenicia, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. A remarkable lead sarcophagus panel executed in relief divided into 2 quadrilateral frames with braided borders, each filled with traditional Roman imagery. A gorgoneion or head of a gorgon - a mythological woman with hair of snakes - is featured at the center of each section, both heads surrounded by rondels, as well as 4 leaves that point inwards. The left side of the piece is additionally adorned by a dolphin, whose sinuous body curves along the right border, as though about to dive. This example is replete with symbolism. The leaves refer to actual garlands and flowers used to decorate tombs and altars. The gorgoneion has apotropaic functions as guardians of tombs and were used frequently in ancient homes to avert evil from entering. Size (of panel): 13.3" L x 4.9" H (33.8 cm x 12.4 cm); Size (of board): 15.8" L x 8" H (40.1 cm x 20.3 cm)
The dolphins, meanwhile, remind us of a powerful and popular motif in Roman artwork. The Romans were largely a maritime empire, and the iconography of the sea included dolphins. Romans believed these animals carried souls to the Fortunate Isles, perhaps because they could pass through the air-breathing terrestrial world and into the watery depths that claimed so many Roman sailors' lives. This symbol must have had personal significance for the deceased, who often ordered coffins to be made long before they died. Dolphins can also be a reference to the cult of Bacchus (equivalent to the Greek god Dionysus).
Prior to the 2nd century, Romans cremated their dead; around that time, they became inspired by the Greek and Etruscan practice of using sarcophagi, and they began to make coffins. This trend spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire and between social stratums. While those of nobility would commission marble sarcophagi, the middle class would commission lead sarcophagi, such as this one. Lead sarcophagi were only made in Phoenicia, or the Eastern part of the empire, but were shipped west due to popularity.

Carl Wilhelm Emile Milles (1875-1955) Sunglitter/Solglitter (1918)
Considered Sweden's foremost sculptor of the twentieth-century, Carl Milles produced some of the most popular and enduring bronze works of his era. His early pieces display the influence of Auguste Rodin, whom he worked for while in Paris from 1897-1904. Seeking an individual style, in 1917 he sought to free himself of previous influences, and destroyed all the works in his studio. A completely new style emerged, where elegance, motion, and gesture were paramount. Sunglitter, one of the first pieces Milles created in what would become his trademark style, would remain a personal favorite throughout his life. Milles is best known for his outdoor sculptural groups, many incorporating jets of water, which encapsulate an exuberant sense of movement with attenuated and spirited figures (American Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2001, p. 589).
Sunglitter, cast in bronze and meant to be a fountain, represents a mermaid, or naiad (sea nymph),
riding the back of a dolphin. In Greek mythology, Naiads presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks, and in ancient art are often depicted riding fantastic sea creatures. Mille's dolphin and rider appear to be skimming at great speed across the water, their animated and vigorous silhouettes boldly outlined against the sky. So swift is their flight that the naiad's mouth has dropped in fear, her hair flying in all directions, and she holds one hand to the back of her head, is if to steady herself, while grasping the forward fin of the slippery dolphin with the other (Nawrocki, Dennis Alan & Thomas J. Holleman. Art in Detroit Public Places, 1980, p. 198.).
The sculpture was purchased in 1958 in honor of Oscar N. Solbert, director of the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y., from 1949-1958, and was originally part of a fountain setting located on the grounds from 1959-1980.
When the Terrace Garden was restored in 1990 this piece and its rectangular pool were removed. Because the sculpture was not part of George Eastman's original landscape it was moved inside.
Original correspondence regarding sale and purchase of the sculpture are included with the work.

Note: Following the Eastern European style of ornate wooden Torah arks, elaborately carved and decorated to hold Torah scrolls, this form of lamp is characterized by bold scrollwork and vines, birds, and animals such as herons, squirrels, and dolphins. Lamps of this elaborate and intricate form are particular to the region of Galicia, and Brody seems to have been a center, as Jews had been granted the right to engage in crafts in 1699.
Shell crest is bent (should be standing tall), it is lacking the two servant lamps, there is a crack between two of the silver dolphin-form fonts, the applied detail is lifted slightly in areas from the backplate, minor loss to the lower right of bottom crest.

Commander Congdon reported the incident of Feb. 17, 1864 in which his ship, the Housatonic was attacked & became the first ship in history to be sunk by a submarine, the ill fated & now famous H.L.
