ancientbeardart:Bust of JupiterImperial Roman1st-2nd c. CE“The hair strikes above the furrowed forehead in the manner of Alexander the Great, framing the wide face with moving, softly modeled curls. A cloth is placed over the back of the head, which is dropped on the left side of the body and resting on the right shoulder. The covering of the head is of sacred significance, but also a reference to the cosmic sphere of clouds and sky.”Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna -- source link
