AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent and imposing fragment of the so-called 'mask' head in plaster, depicting the Greek god Apollo, specifically a life-size replica of the Apollo of Belvedere head, a famous and iconic Hellenistic marble sculpture from the Vatican collection displayed at the Vatican Museums in Rome. It is an ancient plaster, of notable size, crafted with high quality, and datable to the early 20th century. It is missing part of the right side, but this does not affect the figure; rather, it gives it a character of authenticity and antiquity. A unique, rare piece with a strong emotional and scenographic impact, suitable for exclusive and distinctive interior settings due to its considerable size. This item is rarely available on the market.
