Hypnos. God of sleep.. About the original. Description<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Bronze Head of Hypnos\u00a0is a\u00a0Roman\u00a0copy of an ancient Greek statue found at\u00a0Civitella d’Arna\u00a0near\u00a0Perugia\u00a0in central Italy. Widely copied since its discovery in the early nineteenth century, it has been part of the\u00a0British Museum’s collection since 1868.<\/p>\n
Only the head of the bronze statue is extant. The face shows wings emerging from his right temple and elaborately woven locks of hair held in by a head band. As the\u00a0god of sleep, the intact statue would have shown the deity walking forwards, clutching a drinking horn and poppies in his hands. Sculptural images of Hypnos are unusual, and only a handful of similar statues are known in Western\u00a0Europe.<\/p>\n
The bronze head was originally discovered in the small\u00a0Umbrian\u00a0town of Civitella d’Arna. Little is known of the circumstances of the find until it became part of the Castellani Collection. The British Museum purchased the bronze sculpture, along with other parts of the collection, in 1868.All our sculptures are made of the highest quality resin.
