Bronze statuette of Jupiter

Roman

Not on view

The standing Jupiter is nude except for a mantle that is draped over his left shoulder, around the hips, and across the left forearm. He raises his right arm as if to hold a tall scepter. His left hand, extended at hip level, grasped another now missing attribute. The god turns his head slightly to the viewer's right. The facial features and the hair and beard are carefully modeled and are accentuated with cold work after casting. From thigh level downward, the figure has been fused, apparently by intense heat.
