This terracotta bust portrays Pope Julius II in his pontifical robes. Elements of his clothing that are easy to identify include the mozetta (a short cape closed at the front with a row of buttons and cowl at the back, known as the cocullo) and the camauro (a cap worn by Popes only in winter). His face displays his renowned proud and strong-willed attitude.
