Bust of Minerva

Cast in bronze, this sculptural bust of Minerva from Tuscany features the Roman goddess adorned with a crested helmet, embellished with finely rendered floral and lion motifs. The facial expression is serene yet commanding, with well-defined curls cascading from beneath the helmet. The patina is rich and aged, enhancing the statue’s neoclassical authority and lending it presence in any display. “A strong standalone piece for a library or study — she adds a sense of weight, intellect, and protection to the room.” Italy, circa 1820 Dimensions: 10W x 10D x 18H
