Note du spécialiste

The present head was possibly inspired by works in the Sala degli Animali. These rooms were set up in the Vatican under Pius VI (1775-1799), who had ancient works restored and sometimes reworked, many under the direction of Francesco Antonio Franzoni, with the intention of creating a 'stone zoo'.
