Description
Cyprus, Greece, ca. 6th to 5th century BCE.

He wears a meticulously delineated wreath upon his short cropped coiffure. A handsome piece, replete with fine technique. Clearly this sculptor had expert ability to bring stone to life! Custom block stand. Size: 4.125" H (10.5 cm); 7.375" H (18.7 cm) on stand
