Torso of a Striding Draped Male Figure. Dimensions: H. 85 cm (33 7/16 in). Date: 304 B.C.-A.D. 364.This statue wears a costume especially popular in the Ptolemaic and early Roman Period: a sleeved tunic over which a long fringed skirt is wrapped, with its front edge visible between the legs of the figure, topped with a fringed shawl. The shawl covers the left arm and passes under the right, ending where it is gathered into the proper left fist. The sculptor has given special attention to the graceful ridges and hollows of the draped garment and to the fine anatomical modeling of the neck and right arm.Statues of this type often seem to have stood in front of temple pylons. There is reason to believe that the costume was connected with the hope for deification. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
