LM 62 Marathon Ephebe Mask h. cm. 22

In our collection of plaster sculptures and works of art, in the artistic masks section there is the mask depicting the face of the Ephebe of Marathon, made of antique patinated white plaster, suitable for indoor use and ready to be hung on the wall.

The original statue of the Marathon Ephebe is a bronze sculpture, preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, found in 1925 in the Aegean Sea, near Marathon. The sculpture depicts a naked young man, probably an athlete, in a moving position, and is attributable to the Praxitelian school.
