About the Item
Unique and precious sculpture in carved white marble, likely depicting Aeolus, the god of the wind. The sculpture originated as a fountain mask, as evidenced by the opening in the mouth for the water to flow out. The back is smoother, while the front features well-defined eyes and nose; the eyebrows take the form of playful wings, and the head is completed with a lily in the center of the forehead, further enhancing the decoration. Originating from a Florentine residence, this sculpture is an object of great antiquity and taste, capable of enriching any space with a touch of history and elegance. Classically inspired Tuscan craftsmanship, 16th century.
