Description from the seller

Professional academic sculpture, entirely handcrafted by professional artisans. A piece from a museum plaster cast collection. The craftsmanship has very ancient origins and is performed by artists in the sculptural sector, made with materials such as scagliola and Carrara marble dust.

Antinoo (circa 110-130 AD), a young man of extraordinary beauty from Bithynia, was the companion of Emperor Hadrian, with whom he formed a deep bond. He tragically died by drowning in the Nile, an event that led Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor, and found the city of Antinopolis. Antinoo became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments depicting him with divine traits, blending Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences.

The item will be packaged by a company specialized in shipping. This ensures that the packaging will be carried out professionally and efficiently, guaranteeing maximum protection during transportation.
