The fragmentary male figure is inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity and reflects the academic sculptural forms commonly displayed in major museum collections.

This example is cast in a heavy cold-cast stone composite rather than plaster and is mounted on a solid brass support post, set into a black painted wood plinth. The substantial weight and quality materials give the piece a strong architectural presence suitable for interior styling, shelving displays, or pedestal presentation.

The intentional fragment form references archaeological sculpture remnants, making it particularly appealing for designers seeking classical balance in modern, minimalist, or traditional interiors.

This is a vintage museum reproduction, not an antique and not a contemporary décor casting.
