Ancient
This feels like AV. Pretty sure it’s RRV, but oh man, does it feel like classic AV, like the Husch and Navarro and Lazy Creek stuff of old. It does NOT feel like RRV, who seem to be in a race to plump up their pinots into 99% comfort-levels. Likewise, AV has also gotten the lush-bug of late, and these gritty, briary, rustic-feeling bitter-fests are becoming few and far between. Big, warm, savory…

#MetalMonday:
Lamp in the Shape of a Rooster
Early Byzantine (Egypt?), 6th-7th c.
Bronze, cast & chased, 11 x 13.5 cm (4 5/16 x 5 5/16 in.)
On display at Dumbarton Oaks
“The rooster is a rare shape and may not have any references beyond its similarity in shape to the peacock and its associations with sunrise - the start of daylight.”
More info:
“Lamps are among the most widely used & imaginatively conceived works in antiquity. They were made predominantly in terracotta, but many examples in bronze survive because of their durability. Artists drew inspiration from all aspects of ancient culture, from the mythological realm, illustrated by a lamp with a griffin-head handle in the Dumbarton Oaks collection (BZ.1962.15), to the natural world, reflected in this rooster lamp. Identified by its distinctive coxcomb & wattles, the head is tipped forward at an angle that is typical of this barnyard bird. The feathers on the body are chased (i.e. incised after the lamp was cast).
The rooster, or cock, is proverbially the harbinger of the new day. This connection with dawn and daylight may have been the inspiration for crafting the lamp. One mention occurs in the New Testament when Christ tells Peter that he will deny him three times before the cock crows (Matthew 26:34). It is more likely the former connection than the Biblical reference inspired the rooster of this lamp.”
