Bronze Bust of Asclepius
About: A very finely detailed bronze bust of the Greco-Roman god of healing, Asclepius. The excellent level of detail is evident in the texture of his hair and twisted wreath about his head. Modeled after the classical Roman sculpture in The Museo Archeologico Regionale Paolo Orsi of Syracuse, Sicily.
This piece was likely mounted on marble plinth or part of a garniture. Unmarked.
Why We Love It: The detail on this piece really drive this home for us: Classical styling with open eyes, curly hair and strong masculine features.
Condition: Very fine with excellent warm bronze-green patina. Marble base is likely missing as there are mounts and screw holes.
Dims: 6” H 3.5” W x 2.75” D
Location: Philadelphia, PA
