Emperor Vespasian Portrait Bust, Ancient Roman Museum Replica for a Library or Study

Bring a Roman portrait to a library, study or history collection with this head of Emperor Vespasian, adapted from the Cleveland Museum of Art's marble sculpture. The original portrait was recut in antiquity from a likeness of Nero, preserving traces of its earlier identity.

The short hair, intent expression and historic chipped features remain faithful to the source sculpture. A thoughtful gift for a Roman history reader or collector of archaeological portrait art.

Made to order in PLA, with Ivory White, Marble Stone or Charcoal Black finishes and 5, 9 or 12 inch heights. These are surface appearances; this replica is not marble or stone. Intended for indoor display.
