Badly damaged statue of the Minotaur. The horns and ears are missing, as is the right arm, portions of the torso, and left hand. The face of the Minotaur is smooth, while the head between the horns has been sculpted into shaggy curls. Incisions along the neck mimic folds of skin. Repaired cracks run from across the crown of the head through the left eye and under the jaw, and across the forehead and down the right cheek indicating the nose was broken off at some point.

One half of a statuary group depicting Theseus and the Minotaur, found in Plaka, Athens. Roman copy of a Greek original. National Archaeological Museum 1664α.
