Etruscan portrait of a man 300 BCE

"Discovered at Fiesole, near Florence, this head belonged to a life-size honorific statue that was no doubt produced some time during the 3rd century BC, for it presents a number of stylistic affinities with the so-called 'Sarcophagus of the Plump Man' from the tomb of the Partunu family in Tarquinia. The statue was cast in bronze by the lost wax process. The eyes were originally inlaid with some other material to represent the iris and pupil. The face bears a relationship to representations of the "obesus etruscus" invoked by the poet Catullus (XXXIV, 2) whose comfortable life finds expression in a corpulent physique."
