A superb addition to a personal collection or a magnificent gift for a lover of antiquity, this mask reproduces in stunning detail the iconography of the Greek god Apollo, as seen in the post-Hellenist marble statue displayed at the Cortile Belvedere in the Vatican Museums, in Rome. The irregular cut of the piece gives it the allure of a fragment found among ruins, which contrasts with the serene elegance of the portrait. The bronze mask rests on an iron pedestal and will make a splendid addition to any decor.
