Marcus Aurelius Bust

myminifactory

Marcus Aurelius stands out with his unruly hair and prominent eyes as he wears a cuirass here. Beneath the tangled mane, the downturned face with its far-off stare exudes a somber and reflective mood. The cuirass, partially concealed by a cloak draped over the right shoulder, is adorned with a gorgoneion or Gorgon mask at center and a gruesome eel-legged figure on the right shoulder-piece.
