i got this at Goodwill today - near my house. i was very surprised to realize that this is very high quality alabaster and carved beautifully! it's extremely heavy! it's only 12 inches tall, but weighs something like 30-40 lbs! i'd love to find out all i can about this piece. there is some damage but it isn't visible from this point of view and i think it could be fixed pretty easily.

thanks Brunswick. this is marble - a very white marble.
It is Apollo, the son of Zeus and the God of music, poetry, prophecy and many more.
thank you mp.kunst. it's Apollo Belvedere which was a Greek statue which had a huge impact on sculpture from the Renaissance till the late 19th century - because of how it was both a side profile and a front-faced bust at the same time - considered 'genius' for at least 500 years.
Very nice!
