Carved Stone Bust of Pericles with Corinthian Helmet. Italy, 20th Century.

A striking 20th century carved stone bust of Pericles , the celebrated Athenian statesman and military leader of Classical Greece, depicted wearing an imposing Corinthian helmet . Inspired by one of antiquity's most recognizable sculptural portraits, the bust captures the dignified expression and commanding presence traditionally associated with the "Golden Age of Athens." Skillfully carved with a weathered stone finish, the sculpture faithfully reproduces the robust facial features, full beard, and iconic helmet that symbolize Pericles' role as both philosopher-statesman and commander. The naturally textured surface and aged patina evoke the appearance of ancient archaeological fragments, lending the piece an authentic classical character. Dimensions Height: 23.5 in.
