Pentelikon near Athens</schema:artMedium><schema:description>This smallish head of Socrates was probably a herm-portrait originally. The vigorous carving belongs to the Antonine period, although it was likely based on a prototype attributed to Lysippos from the fourth century B.C.  

Condition: The head is broken at the base of the neck.  The nose, now missing, was repaired in antiquity with an iron pin and cement. There are a few modern pick marks on the face.  Root marks and a yellow patina cover the surfaces.
