This is one of the most beautiful but also of the fewest, unique bronze statues of the classical period. It is a cast piece of art, in supernatural size and depicts either Zeus or Poseidon. This God is represented standing, nude and in wide stride. Although the form is strictly presented, the motion and rendition of the bodily details is quite successful. The God’s beard is full and the hair is full, long and pulled back in braids around the head while in front his locks are loose around the forehead.
