Description
This torso is a Roman version of a Hellenistic Greek statue, possibly portraying Hypnos, or Sleep, the twin brother of Death, or possibly Ganymede, the youthful cup-bearer to Zeus. Meant to be viewed in the round, it likely stood in a Roman garden or courtyard. The missing head and arms were separately made and attached by means of lead-wrapped iron dowels.
