Aphrodisias (Turkey), baths, acquired in 1905
Marble, Roman, after original around 200 BC
Part of the considerably broader repertoire in Hellenistic large-scale sculpture was the unflinching representation of ageing, the realistic portrayal of corporeal frailty and images of ordinary people, such as fishermen, shepherds, and beggars. The head is a plaster cast of the original, discovered in 1989 in Aphrodisias.
