St. Thomas Episcopal Church on 5th Avenue and 53rd Street in Manhattan, NY.

Statue of a priest, end of 6th century B.C.; Archaic Cypriot; Said to be from west of the temple at Golgoi Limestone; H. (with base) 85 1/2 in. (217.2 cm) The Cesnola Collection, Purchased by subscription, 1874-76 (74.51.2466) Typical of Cypriot sculpture of the sixth century B.C., this over-lifesize limestone statue has accentuated facial features, including a prominent nose and large eyes. The hint of an Archaic smile, the figure's rigid stance with one foot forward, and the long, spiral tresses falling over each shoulder attest to the influence of Greek sculpture on Cyprus at this time. Black, red, and yellow painted designs once embellished the garments and helmet worn by this figure. The helmet is divided into vertical panels decorated with rows of red lotus flowers that may refer to the tree of life represented in Near Eastern art. The bull protome reinforces the figure's religious significance, as does the Cypriot inscription on the left shoulder: "[I belong to] the Paphian [i.e., Aphrodite]." Bearded human figures wearing conical headdresses have a long history in Cypriot sculpture, dating from the end of the seventh century to the fifth century B.C. These sculptures most likely represent priests or dignitaries. The inscription on this statue, as well as its richly decorated garments and helmet, suggest that it represents a priest of a longlived fertility goddess who eventually became associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite.

Marble Head of a Priest of the Imperial Cult Possibly from Caesarea (Kayseri), Turkey # MS 215 Tiny busts of 11 divinities decorate the figured crown. This type of crown seems to be most at home in Asia Minor where it is frequently but not exclusively associated with the imperial cult. Text from the University of Pennsylvania Museum label.

Head of a Priest of the Imperial Cult Roman, Probably Late Hadrianic, second quarter of the 2nd century AD Marble with blue veining # Y1990-3 The distinctive crown, with reliefs of four busts set within an arcade, identifies this man as a priest of the imperial cult. The busts, which are only summarily carved, wear military cloaks and presumably represent the reigning emperor, his designated successor, and two of his imperial predecessors. Judging by its style, the head probably dates from late in the reign of Hadrian (AD 117-138). The flaring plinth above and behind the head indicates that the intact figure served in an architectural capacity, most likely as a votive column or as a figural pillar in an ornamental facade.

Drusus Senior, brother of Emperor Tiberius Roman, Early Imperial Period, about 18 B.C. Dimensions: 41 x 17 cm (16 1/8 x 6 11/16 in.) Medium or Technique: Marble, from Mt. Pentelikon near Athens Classification: Sculpture Catalogue Raisonné: Sculpture in Stone (MFA), no. 332; Sculpture in Stone and Bronze (MFA), p. 114 (additional published references). Accession Number: 88.346 The portrait was long thought to represent the young Tiberius, but is now considered to be his brother, Nero Drusus, who was born in 38 and died in 9 B.C. The head was probably carved around the year 18 B.C., when Nero Drusus was elected to the office quaestor, when he was 20 (five years younger than the traditional legal age for holding this office). In this case, the portrait would make a chronological if not geographical pair with young Tiberius from southwest Asia Minor (1971.393). The base of the neck has been worked for insertion, and the sculpture is in generally excellent condition. The tip of the nose has been damaged, and there are small breaks in the hair and at the edge of the veil. The head, made separately for insertion in a draped statue, is turned and inclined very slightly to the right. The toga was drawn up like a veil, indicating that the subject was represented as a priest or magistrate making a sacrifice. He was doubtless standing and probably holding a patera in his right hand.
