Torso from a statuette of a male figure


Male torso from a statuette (Apollo?), made of coarse marble. The figure is represented standing straight, naked. The head, arms, and legs are broken and this makes it difficult to determine the body posture. A cloak passes over the left shoulder, ending right over the chest and on the elbow of the left arm. The chest, abdomen and back muscles are presented realistically.


Measurements: Preserved height 22 cm
