Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Plaster cast, accession number 21-64, described as Cast of torso of a naked youth, found by Philios in his excavation of Eleusis for the Greek Archaeological Society in 1887, Pentelic marble. Missing: both arms, left leg whole, right leg from the knee. Height 1.05 meters. Proportions a little under life-size. Kabbadias says in [greek lettering] 254: “Independently considered this work is a noteworthy sculpture and was certainly produced in a good Hellenic period under the influence of the Attic IV Century art.” A remnant of marble on the head is supposed to have been a brace that united the right hand and the wreath it is supposed to have held, with the statue’s head. Ephemeris Archaeology 1900, plate 11. The marble is a replica of the Young Athletic victor placing a wreath on his head (Furtwaengler) or advancing with a spear (telo incedens)--Mahler’s conception--of which statue by Polykleitos we have copies in the Westmacott Athelete of the British Museum and in a Barracco marble in Rome. Helbig identified it with the portrait of Kyniskos at Olympia, of which the pedestal is extant. Location: Eleusis. National Museum, Athens.
