Large Roman Head of Asclepius, God of Medicine

Item Details

Description

1st-2nd century AD. A monumental head of Asclepius or Jupiter (Greek Zeus), carved much larger than life-size in high quality marble, with a full head of curls in tiers with deep undercutting around the brow; the beard similar well defined with tiered curls; the face stern with furrowed brow and high cheek-bones, lentoid eyes with heavy lids and restored nose; mounted on a custom-made stand. Depictions of bearded gods frequently represented either Asclepius, god of healing, or Zeus. The monumental proportions suggest that it may have come from a large cult statue frequently situated within a temple. 48.5 kg, 61cm (24"). Property of a central London gallery; acquired from Brok S.L. auctions, Barcelona, Spain, November 1984, lot 586; formerly in the private collection of L.B. Godó, Barcelona, Spain; accompanied by a copy of the 1984 catalogue listing and auction invoice; supplied with geologic report No. TL005200, by geologic consultant Dr R. L. Bonewitz. [A video of this item is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.]
