A thought provoking bust of an ancient Greek warrior from the last quarter of the 20th century.
The bust features a naturalistic old face with deep lines. The hair, and beard are both done very purposefully with separate strands all overlapping each other.
The purpose of this statue was probably to instill a sense of pride about the Greek army, and to illustrate the strength and wisdom that Greek men were expected to have. The beard is symbolic of wisdom, but the long hair is a sign of youthfulness.
This bronze sculpture would not only grace your study but would become the focal point of your interior. less
