Head fragment - Roman emperor (1) - Marble - First half 19th century
Antique fragment of a head depicting an important Roman emperor. Its patina does not cover the visible signs of ageing, especially at the level of the left eye it was touched or rubbed as a sign of devotion, so the marble is worn. A rare item in Carrara white marble mounted on an extraordinary antique yellow marble base.
