Roman Marble Male Bust
1st-3rd century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £975
With a portion of the upper pectoral muscles still visible, part of a cloak (chlamys) gathered on the left shoulder. 9.95 kg, 29 cm wide
From an English private collection, 1970s-late 1990s. English private collection.
The original statue or bust represented an athletic type, probably a hero or a demigod, or the god of war, Ares. However, the presence of the cloak resting on the left shoulder could also recall statues of divinities, such as Zeus with his left arm raised, or Asklepios, or Hermes.
