Summary
[edit]DescriptionMixoparthenos.jpg |
English: Statue of a mixoparthenos (two-tailed siren) from the New York Metropolitan museum. The museum placard reads "Siren, Bronze, Italian (Rome), ca. 1570-90. The siren, crowned and holding her two tails, was a heraldic device of the House of Colonna, a powerful Roman family. In all likelihood, this siren is the bronze named in a 1644 Barberini inventory, a Colonna princess having married into that family. It was no doubt intended for placement at a considerable height outdoors, where the extraordinary tumble of hair would have been seen to full advantage.
