Antinous

myminifactory

Finely crafted limestone covers a life-size statue of Antinous, trusted companion of Emperor Hadrian, in a thrilling depiction as a skilled hunter. Standing proudly nude, except for the dignified paludamentum draped elegantly over his left shoulder and arm, clasped firmly on his right shoulder, he exudes powerful muscular development. His youthful face radiates an aura of boyish charm, complemented by a majestic mass of curls bound with a magnificent diadem. This extraordinary sculpture was discovered in the ocean's depths, where the head and torso lay undisturbed at the seabed, while the exposed legs showed signs of degradation from prolonged water exposure.
