French 20th Century Bronze Hypnos Statue

About the Item

An early 20th century cast bronze bust of Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep, copied from the remains of an original sculpture made circa 300BC now at the British Museum in London. The most striking feature is the wing–like a dove–protruding from his right temple, a fantastic appendage to represent his supernatural powers in spite of the gentle face that wears an expression of dreamy tranquility. The metal has oxidized to a wonderful turquoise verdigris, partially obscuring the exquisite details of his wing and hair. He is mounted on a contemporary base of reconstituted stone shaped to an elongated pyramid with some patination. This Classical work of art will delight in any garden or interior.
