Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-106, described as Cast of a terminal bust of a Herakles crowned with a wreath of poplar. From a Greek marble of the British Museum, London. Cast of works of Brucciani, Great Russell Street, London. This firm carries all molded British Museum marbles, and was to have executed a big order, which the consideration of space forbade. The authorship of this portrayal of the stout and amiable hero is traed to Skepas of Paros, flourished about 350 B. C. Compare his own marbles of Tegea, and copies of his statues in the Lansdowne Herakles, the Vatican Meleager, and other ideal creations. Also, the misfit head of Aristogeiton in our group of the Tyrannicides.
