The faux finish adds visual depth to the form, while the cropped torso gives the piece an architectural presence that works especially well among books, drawings, and collected objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source sculpture, created in Italy about CE 81–96, survives as a torso and one arm from an over-life-size Roman portrait statue. Its muscular breastplate is unusually restrained, while the lower armor tabs carry palmettes, rosettes, gorgon heads, animal heads, and an eagle clutching a hare. Getty dates the work to the Flavian period, specifically the early reign of Domitian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I like the discipline of this piece. The cropped form and armor give it enough structure to hold its own in a library or study without turning the room into a historical set. It also makes an unusually good gift for someone drawn to classical history, architecture, or collecting; there is something far more personal in giving an object with a real story behind it.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Mrs. Mayfair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonded marble with faux finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7½″ × 4″ × 4″ (L × W × H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift box included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Ownership\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
