Description
A Continental sculpted terracotta bust of Pallas Athena, in the manner of Antique examples, late 19th century, the helmet modelled with a lizard in relief pushed back, the chiton with scrollwork to the decolletage, 72cm high, 55cm wide This bust bears similarities to the Athena Giustiniani, a Roman marble of the late 5th -early 4th century BC, particularly in the scrollwork to the drapery, but it would appear to be the sculptor's own version of what was a generic subject, the portrayal of Athena/Minerva with her helmet pushed back atop her head
