Cast after a copy of the Roman marble after a Hellenistic bronze in the Capitoline Museum, Rome. Identified by his mass of leonine hair, his young idealized face, and his deep-set, upturned eyes, Alexander the Great was the first Greek ruler to understand and exploit the propagandistic powers of portraiture. Ancient literary sources say that he let only one sculptor carve his portrait: Lysippos (active ca. 370-300 B.C.), who created the standard Alexander portrait type.

Cast in stone composite.  Please see our colour chart for available finishes.
