Found at Olympia. The man is crowned with kotinos, the olive-wreath awarded to victors
in the Olympic Games, of which only the stem is preserved
The individual facial features have led to the identification of the figure as a boxer.
The head probably belonged to a statue of the famous boxer Satyros of Elis, who repeatedly
won the boxing event at Nemea, Pythia and Olympia. The statue of Satyros at Olympia was the work of the Athenian bronze-sculptor Silanion
About 330 - 320 B.C.
