Description

A bronze figurine replica of the ancient Greek sculpture, the Discobolus (Discus Thrower) by Myron. The original bronze sculpture was created around 460-450 BC. The original has been lost and is known today through numerous Roman marble copies. It depicts an athlete in a moment of concentration and poise, preparing to throw a discus. The style is characteristic of the Severe period, known for anatomical detail and a sober expression. 5" H x 2.5" W (base) x 1.5" L (base); 4" (widest point) Good condition.
