A ROMAN MARBLE DRAPED MALE TORSO
CIRCA 1ST-2ND CENTURY A.D.
Possibly a god, depicted standing with weight on his right leg, the left bend at the knee, his right arm lowered, his now-missing left arm once raised, perhaps holding a scepter, his body enveloped in a tunic with deep U-shaped folds running down his chest, a mantle wrapped around him, draped across his waist and falling over his left shoulder, with excess folds falling down his side, a tree trunk support preserved along his side
16 ¾ in. (42.6 cm.) high
