Statue of Zeus or Poseidon, property of the Stiftung Hamburger Kunstsammlungen, St. 44, marble, chiseled, drilled, marble, Total: Height: 113 cm; Width: 45 cm; Depth: 30 cm, three-dimensional sculptures, sculptures, fountains, water, history of Jupiter (Zeus), history of Neptune (Poseidon), torso (torso), gods (classic. Mythology), Early Imperial Era, Roman Antiquity, Depicted is a bearded god in a light screaming position. The right leg is set a little to the side and in front.
