Description
In the Giustiniani collection of antiquities, this portrait depicting a man with a severe expression, marked by a fervent realism, appeared as a "pileated servant", that is, bearing the pileus, a cap commonly worn by individuals of humble extraction.
The virile figure portrayed has traditionally been identified with Euthydemus I, a Hellenistic dynast who reigned over Bactria, a land in ancient times part of Alexander the Great's empire.

Object Parts
I replaced the original base with something that seemed more in line with the scale of the bust (and also easier to print). The result, split in two, makes a splendid bookend - see www.tomo.love/bookend for more details!
