Description
A placard accompanying this sculpture reads (in the English portion):
"This statue of Athena is one of several colossal antique replicas of a famous Athenian sculpture. The discovery at Baiae, near Naples, of fragments of antique plaster models made from the original work indicates that this sculpture would have been a bronze of the same dimensions. It is attributed to the sculptor Kresilas, around 430 BC, although its precise localisation in Athens is unknown."
