This distinctive head belongs to a statue of a naked athlete likely holding a discus. The renowned Greek sculptor Polykleitos pursued an approach rooted in mathematics, as evidenced by his figures' precision and proportion. "Perfection emerges gradually through the accumulation of many details," he is quoted as saying. His meticulous attention to smallest particulars can be observed in the intricately designed locks of hair on this head.
