About the Item
This finely crafted terracotta bust depicts a figure in the style of ancient Roman portraiture. The subject is shown with short, textured curls, a solemn expression, and a draped cloak secured at the shoulder with a decorative brooch. The detailed folds of the garment and the lifelike carving of the face reflect the influence of classical Roman artistry.
Made from reddish-brown terracotta with a natural matte finish, the piece carries an antique, timeless character. While inspired by the likeness of Roman statesmen or emperors, the bust serves as a decorative and educational object rather than a confirmed portrait of a specific historical figure.
