Decoration

Decoration and Iconography Roman copy of a Hellenistic statue dating to the time of Hadrian. The face was changed in the 4th century. „The head has been broken off and has been re-affixed. The tip of the nose has broken off and is missing, as is the right hand. The head and the hair over the brow have been recarved; the surfaces of both ears are original. In front of the right ear, remnants of an original lock of hair which hung down are extant. The technical execution of the face stands in sharp contrast to the body’s smoothed out forms.“ Johansen 1995, 196

Comment

Johansen suggests that it is not clear if Εὐβούλιον refers to the mother-in-law or the son-in-law and translates accordingly.
