ROMAN OBJECTS1. Various Roman Portrait HeadsThe portrait of a barbate man is from 150-175a.d. It is from the Antoine Period (138-192a.d.). The portrait is realistic to me because it is a sculpture of someone. My impressions on this are that his beard is kind of wavy. His hose has a piece missing or is just damaged real bad. He is made out of marble. His face looks like he is mad or something, real intense. It also looks like it had cuts in his forehead and part of his eye. His hair looks like a pile of whip cream. GREEK GALLERIES2. Statue of KourosThe color of the stone of the statue of Kouros I would describe it as beige. The repairs to the statue are wholly over the body. It has cracks all over the arms, chest, derriere, etc. his headband is fastened by some thing on his head that looks like beads with spaces throughout them. It is from 590-580b.c during the archaic period. It stands moderately tall and also has a little staggered going on with his right foot back and his left foot up.ART OF MESOAMERICA3. Fat Baby from Olmec nicetyThe Fat Baby is during the 9th- 12th century b.c.e., during the Olmec period. The figure is white and hollow. The baby seems to be nibbling on his index finger, seating down with his legs open. It is pretty big subject matter fat and looks old. It has a hat on that looks light pink and his lip is pulled back. The baby has no fangs and is cracked. It has a straight line going down his back with designs all over the left side.ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN ART4. Human-Headed Winged BullIt is from the Neo-Assyran period during 883-859b.c.e. The highest relief would be its head. The writing was all just about the statue in a different writing. It is very big and tall. It is on a good portion of the corner of a hallway. It looks kind of cool with a diddlyshits body with wings and a humans head on it. The face is kind of funny because of the beard I guess if coherent and real even. The human-headed wing bull had five legs.ASIAN GALLERIES5 . Standing BuddhaThe standing Buddha is from the 5th century 319-500b.
