- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $1500**
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 4th to mid-5th century CE. A wonderful upper torso of a man, hand-carved from glinting white marble and meticulously detailed in its presentation of the pectoral and abdominal musculature. The wide neck is adorned with a bead necklace in relief, with a circular protrusion along the left side suggestive of a hand, and the right arm wrapped around a large yet somewhat ambiguous object. Based on the positioning of the hands and arms one could understandably see the resemblance to the famous Greek statue "Kriophoros of Kalamis," however the worn details only increase the nebulousness of the figure's identity. Faint traces of beige and brown pigment are visible along the left shoulder and suggest this sculpture was at one time painted with bright pigments. Size: 10.75" W x 8.25" H (27.3 cm x 21 cm); 10.625" H (27 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-William Froelich collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 1970s
