Man Wearing a Tunic
1st century BCE-4th century CE (Roman or modern)
cast bronze
(Roman Empire )
(Roman Empire )
This male figure wears a one-shouldered garment and lifts his right hand. He has shaggy hair, a moustach, and a short beard. Each had once held an iron object, now lost. The authenticity of this piece has been questioned due to the modeling of the face and hands, as well as the color of the surface.
