Statue of Jupiter of the Capitoline type, unknown Roman workshop. Jupiter Zeus seated on a throne set on a rectangular base. Zeus sits stiffly with his torso slightly back. His raised left hand holds a scepter; his right hand rests casually on his right knee. The right foot is slightly forward. The legs are covered with a himation, which also covers the back and left shoulder. The muscular torso, strongly developed at the shoulders, has naturalistic modeling. The head is disproportionately large, and the face is perfect with a slightly open mouth. The hair is parted from the center anastole. The beard is thick, arranged in strands on the sides and in curls on the chin. Roman sculpture, Roman copy after a Hellenistic variant of Phidias's statue of Zeus the Olympian. Late 2nd–3rd century AD. Sculpture, weight 930 kg., A large pale stone statue of a bearded male figure is shown from the waist up against a smooth gray background; the statue has wavy hair and a detailed curly beard, a bare muscular torso with visible defined chest and abdomen, a raised right arm holding a short cylindrical object, and a draped cloth falling from the shoulders. The visible colors are shades of white, off-white, beige, and gray, with subtle darker gray veining and weathered spots on the stone.
