- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd century CE. A larger-than-life head of the god Apollo, skillfully hand-carved from basalt. The youthful god of music, the sun, light, poetry, prophesy, healing and more is depicted in an idealized manner with "pretty boy" features - huge, almond-shaped eyes with heavy lids, a defined nose, a prominent philtrum, bow-shaped, pursed lips - on that elegant, oval face that tapers to a soft, gently jutting chin. Supported by a broad neck, the divine visage is crowned by a thick waves of hair that dramatically flow upwards in a halo-like manner, topped by classic topknot; reminiscent of the famous Apollo Belvedere (ca. 120 to 140 BCE). Size: 10.75" L x 10.5" W x 14.5" H (27.3 cm x 26.7 cm x 36.8 cm)
