This beautiful marble bust was meticulously scanned in the serene Garden of St. Peter of Alcantara in Lisbon, Portugal. Unfortunately, not much is known about this captivating sculpture as it stands quietly nestled in a secluded area of the park near the river's edge with no accompanying information to shed light on its origins. The sculpture bears an inscription etched into its surface - 'Mencs', a name that remains shrouded in mystery.
