This head closely recalls another youthful male head from Perinthos, now in Dresden, fig. 70 in A. Furtwängler, Masterpieces of Greek Sculpture. Both share some details in common, notably the hair and the shape of the face, with another head from Cyrene, and all reflect a lost Greek original of the 5th century B.C. (see L. Polacco, L'Atleta Cirene-Perinto, pl. VII for the head from Cyrene).
