Found in Athens. All that survives of the stele is the double head that
topped it.
The great philosopher from Stageira and teacher of Alexander the Great
is rendered at an advanced age, with thin hair, small, reflective eyes,
pronounced cheek bones and sunken cheeks.
Roman copy of an original carved about 325-300 B.C.
