Description
This is a head-portrait sculpture depicting Zeus Laborious (Labrandeus). The head was discovered in Phasoula, Labraunda, Cyprus. The cult icon here was a local Zeus Labrandeus, a standing Zeus with the tall lotus-tipped sceptre upright in his left hand and the double-headed axe, the labrys, over his right shoulder.
The cult statue was the gift of the founder of the dynasty, Hecatomnus himself, recorded in a surviving inscription.
