COD. 538

A SCHIST ATLAS OR HERCULES WITH NYMPH, Gandhara, 1st a.D. / 2nd a.D century

h. 25.8 cm

The male figure, perhaps Hercules or Atlas, seems to attract to himself the female figure, perhaps a nymph, whose arm is absent. The intimate scene is pervaded with tender eroticism and framed by an unusual and beautiful arch of grape shoots.
