"Bronze Head Of Emperor Trajan – 17th Century Historicist"
Beautiful 17th-century bronze head of Emperor Trajan, executed in a historicist style. The head features a bronze construction with ivory-inlaid eyes.

The sculpture has a beautiful aged patina and a large size, emphasizing its striking presence. Dimensions: 40 × 28 × 30 cm. Provenance: Spanish private collection. Trajan: Marcus Ulpius Trajanus (Italica, September 18, 53 – Selinunte, c. August 11, 117) was a Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD.
