About the Item
An elegant early 20th century Italian marble bust of Homer, the legendary ancient Greek poet traditionally credited as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey—two foundational works of Western literature.
This finely sculpted bust features Homer with a detailed beard and a laurel wreath adorning his head, a classical symbol of poetic and scholarly honor. The head is carved from pure white marble, contrasting beautifully with the reddish-brown marble of the draped garment and the polished black marble base.
A timeless representation of the revered figure, this bust is a striking homage to the epic tradition and would make an impressive addition to a library, study, or classical interior.
