Statue of a man with an urn

Statue of a man with an urn: This elegant antique composite stone statue depicts a gracefully proportioned male figure inspired by the classical iconography of Greco-Roman antiquity. His relaxed stance and subtle contrapposto lend the sculpture a quiet yet commanding presence, making it an ideal focal point for a park, garden, courtyard, or period property. The figure stands on an integrated plinth that complements the composition beautifully.

The figure is shown bare-chested, with a finely carved drapery falling naturally across his lower torso and thighs. In his left hand, he holds a handled urn (or amphora), tilted as though about to pour its contents, while his right hand carries a shallow cup. Through these attributes—the urn and the cup—the sculpture suggests an allegorical representation of Aquarius, the traditional water bearer of the zodiac, although no definitive identification can be made.

Beneath the urn is a finely sculpted lion’s head, a classic decorative motif that enhances the composition and reflects the attention given to every detail. The figure’s abundant curly hair, together with the carefully executed drapery and accessories, further demonstrates the quality of the craftsmanship.

The stone has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, with weathering that enhances both its authenticity and its antique character. This is a striking decorative piece, equally impressive as a standalone feature or incorporated into a classical setting, where it will bring timeless elegance and distinction.

This sculpture pairs perfectly with our Hercules and the Nemean lion statue (ref. 2026040).
