Antinous

myminifactory

Fine grain limestone over life-size statue of Antinous, companion of emperor Hadrian, as a hunter. Nude but for the paludamentum (cloak) over his left shoulder and arm, clasped on his right shoulder. He has the characteristic muscular development, boyish face, and a mass of curls bound with a diadem. This rare sculpture was found in the sea, the head and torso were in the seabed but the legs were exposed to the water with some degradation.
