Description

The circular base, in Portoro marble, completes the work with its luxurious and refined black finish veined with gold. This contrast between red porphyry, marine alabaster and Portoro marble makes the bust not only a magnificent tribute to Julius Caesar, but also a masterpiece of sculpture that represents the greatness and glory of Roman art.
This bust is perfect for enriching a classic art collection, adding an element of historical authority and sophisticated beauty to any setting.
