A masterfully hand carved sculptural bust of a Roman soldier. This is a modern reproduction of a roman era bust with a glazed finish.
The figure holds a slight contrapposto between the head and the chestplate area. The chest is colored white while the face and base retain a normal terracotta color. Special attention is paid to realistic hair and facial features. The armor on the chest area depicts a scene with various mythological figures interacting. The left hand side might be Mars (Ares) driving the cart of immortal horses (Hippoi Athanatoi) with Jupiter (Zues) in the middle watching over the events. The right hand figure appears to be a slightly anglo-Christian like version of an angel, rather than amor/cupid. Given the modernized nature of the piece and Rome’s history with Christianity, the figure being an angel may be up for interpretation.
This piece was made with care and a high attention to detail. It originated from a private collection and would make for a great feature in a living room or entrance to any classical home. In excellent condition.
