A commanding bronze bust of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, cast in early 19th-century Tuscany. Her serene yet powerful visage is framed by finely sculpted waves of hair beneath a crested helmet adorned with a classical lion mask. The bust captures both the intellectual grace and martial strength that defined Minerva’s dual identity in ancient mythology. A timeless symbol of knowledge, protection, and civic virtue, rendered in a rich, naturally aged patina.
