limestone statue of a young Cypriot man

Limestone

Cypriot, Classical

Mid-4th century B.C.

Said to be from the temple at Golgoi

 

The features and serence expression as well as the beautifully modeled drapery show the influence of high Classical Greek style. The man holds a bough in one hand and a round pyxis (probably containing incense) in the other. Like most votive statues dedicated to a god, he wears a wreath.
