A.D. 120–160) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Zeus Ammon’s sanctuary at the Oasis of Siwa in the Libyan desert was already known when Alexander the Great made his pilgrimage there in 331 B.C. Legend says that the young king was proclaimed son of Zeus Ammon by the Oracle. The original Roman bust of the god combines the ram’s horns of the Egyptian Ammon with the classical Greek depiction of a bearded Zeus. It is thought that perhaps the sculpture was created in Egypt in the years following Alexander’s visit to Siwa. This serene reinterpretation has been carefully hand carved in marble, which delivers beautiful variations in color and natural veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:24px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGeneral info:\u003c\/b\u003e Marble antique look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExtra info:\u003c\/b\u003e Marble is a natural material, each piece differs in color and veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIndoor\/outdoor:\u003c\/b\u003e Indoor use\/dry locations only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e TM0042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:24px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eW. 26 | D. 20 | H. 40 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eW. 10.24″ | D. 7.87″ | H. 15.75″ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDownloads:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.eichholtz.com\/usa\/eichholtz_catalog\/ajax\/pdfFile\/type\/itemspecificationsheets\/id\/TM0042\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eItem Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eichholtz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50488496390391,"sku":"TM0042","price":1596.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/0607\/6857\/files\/TM0042_0_1_1.jpg?v=1778093426","url":"https:\/\/italianluxuryinteriors.com\/products\/eichholtz-statue-zeus-tm0042","provider":"Italian Luxury Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
