Statua Maschile (Copia di)

Assyrian stone plaster cast from a male statue (last quarter of the 6th century BC) found at the temple of Golgoi in Cyprus by Luigi Palma di Casnola between 1866 and 1876, preserved at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The cast, dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, enters the Academy on February 22nd, 1904, donated by the Metropolitan Museum along with five others. These are copies of the most famous works recovered in Cyprus from General Palma di Cesnola, who in 1879, having become director, ceded his collection of Cypriot antiquities to the museum.
