Statuette of Asclepius. 1st century A.D. White, fine crystalline marble. H 31.5 cm. Healing god standing on an oval, profiled base as a bearded, strong man with luxuriantly flowing head hair. He wears a fabric-rich himation wrapped around his hips, one end of which is draped over his left shoulder from behind and falls down over his chest. The other end forms a triangle between his hip and left knee. The right arm, which is preserved up to the middle of the forearm, was slightly outstretched. The hand apparently held the serpent's staff, traces of which have been preserved on the plinth, especially the end of the serpent's tail. The statuette is of the so-called Asclepius Campana type, whose eponymous replica comes from the Campana collection and is now in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. However, the standing motif is reversed. The statuette in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek Inv. 1418, which comes from a villa in Rimini, is related in the setting of the deep hole in the curled ends of the curls. LIMC II s.v. Asklepios 884ff. cat.no.262 -275. Some sintering, left hand and parts of the right forearm broken with snake stick. Provenance: Ex private property M.T., Munich, since the 1980s.
