Description

This beautiful Grand Tour Neoclassical bronze bust depicts Asclepius, known in Greek as Asklepios and in Latin as Aesculapius, the Greco-Roman god of medicine.

This finely crafted bronze bust captures the serene and wise expression of Asclepius, making it a distinguished piece for any collection. The bust is elegantly mounted on a stone plinth adorned with a laurel wreath on the front, adding to its classical aesthetic. It measures 12.25 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 3.25 inches deep, and weighs 6 pounds, reflecting its substantial and high-quality construction. Good antique condition with signs of surface wear, small chips to stone base. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
