ENVIRON IIe SIECLE APRES J.C.

Le dieu tutélaire d'Alexandrie, avec sa barbe luxuriante aux boucles serrées, séparée et fourchue sur le devant, et ses longs et épais cheveux ondulés tombant en boucles taillées qui encadrent son visage, sa barbe et ses cheveux creusés en profondeur, son visage puissant finement sculpté, avec des yeux arrondis sous d'élégants sourcils aux contours nets, ses lèvres légèrement fendues, il aurait porté sur le sommet de sa tête un modius (jarre à mesurer le grain et symbole de fertilité) sculpté à part.

H.: 45 cm. (17 ¾ in.)





Provenance

Collection privée portugaise, Lisbonne, acquise en février 1970.
