Marble Head of Apollo in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Marble head of Apollo
Roman, Augustan or Julio-Claudian, ca. 27 BC- 68 AD
Accession # 59.77
The looped hair arrangement evokes that of the young god Apollo as he was represented in statues dating to the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC. Archaizing figures were popular in the Roman period, and his head, probably set on a rectangular herm shaft, would have been a suitable garden ornament.
