Part of a mythological statuary group that the Lacoon sculptors made for a grotto at the emperor Tiberius’ seaside villa
Opinions
The intricate detail in the sculptor must have been difficult to create and the sculpture not having eyes makes it creepy
It has a powerful, creepy, godlike look to it. But is also very detailed.
