[QUOTE="Dundun, post: 920413, member: 11702"]Dear all, below is a small marble sculpture i got from Granada last Christmas holiday. The vendor said it's from Roman time, and been excavated from the river close by. (if my understanding of her Spanish language is correct. :D) it's a square shape, so i would guess it's part of a longer/larger square marble, but i don't know what it could be. looking at the figure, the curling hair and beard, could it be some god in Roman time? i tried to search but could not find useful clue yet. Anyone familiar with Greek/Roman sculpture may have a clue? thanks!
