No
provenance. Present location unknown. Roman copy of Greek original.
H. 0.38m. Bust of a youthful man, his head turned slightly to the
right. His gaze is open, a slight smile curving his lips, a long,
straight nose, small ears set close to the head. His hair is unusual,
peaking in thick waves and curls; at the forehead, where his hair
peaks into a quiff, are two empty sockets just above the hairline.
Possibly this was a statue of Hermes, the sockets holding two wings
originally. |
