Marble Head of Apollo at The British Museum, London

This marble head of Apollo was found in the main deposit of sculpture to the north of the northwestern peribolos wall (about 350BC). This head is carved on a scale between the colossal portraits and the intermediate scale. The god may have been grouped with the series of dynastic portraits of the indeterminate scale, since deities were often depicted on a larger scale than mortals. The lively upward turn of the head, and the twist of the neck, suggest that the figure to which this head belonged was moving. This object is part of Scan The World. Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free.
