About the sculpture
This marble head, about three-quarter life-sized with idealized features, likely represents Apollo, the god most renowned for his youthful beauty. The hair spreads from a central part, flowing to either side in long and deeply drilled locks that cover the ears. An incised line separates these locks from a rougher area above, probably reserved for a separately made diadem or wreath, likely of metal.
