Hercules
Green patinated bronze sculpture of Hercules. The figure is depicted as a muscular man with short curly hair and beard, wearing only a thin cloth around his waist. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his right hand grips the skin of a lion, which dangles from his forearm. The lion's head is sculpted at the end of the skin, hanging down. The left arm is straight down with a closed fist. The figure stands with feet shoulder-width apart.
