About This Product

The "Bust of " by Eichholtz celebrates a marble head of Ammon in The Met's Greek and Roman art collection. This powerful Roman portrait combines a classical Greek image of the bearded with the ram's horns of the Egyptian Ammon. This contemporary interpretation is handcrafted to perfection. Its striking resemblance to the original celebrates timeless artistry and mythological splendor.

Features

Handcrafted by skilled artisans.
The bust of is inspired by a marble head of Ammon (ca. A.D. 120â€“160) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Ammonâ€™s sanctuary at the Oasis of Siwa in the Libyan desert was already known when Alexander the Great made his pilgrimage there in 331 B.C. Legend says that the young king was proclaimed son of Ammon by the Oracle. The original Roman bust of the god combines the ramâ€™s horns of the Egyptian Ammon with the classical Greek depiction of a bearded . It is thought that perhaps the sculpture was created in Egypt in the years following Alexanderâ€™s visit to Siwa.
