This male portrait bust of white, fine-grained Pentelic marble (ΜΘ 1061), about 58 cm high, is quite well preserved. Most of the nose is missing. Parts of the ear flaps and part of the bottom frame of the base are also missing. Small breaks in the hair, on the forehead, and on the edges of the folds of the himation. The bust stands on a cylindrical plinth which is separately manufactured together with the lower part of its support.

The depicted man is of mature age and wears a tunic and a himation fastened on the right shoulder. His is beardless with long and narrow face. The forehead is marked by three parallel wrinkles. Almond-shaped eyes, well-shaped with arched eyebrows. Nose narrow, long. Lips narrowed in an invisible smile and a round chin ends in a double chin.

His hair forms a thick mass of locks that hug the head. The represented man was probably a distinguished official as it is indicated by his expression, and mostly by the way he is dressed, which finds parallels dated to the period of the reign of Theodosius I or Honorius.

This male portrait, probably from Thessaloniki, formed a pair with the female bust (ΜΘ 1060), and they undoubtedly stood together thus depicting a couple, as it is evident from the way they turn their heads slightly to the side of each other. They were possibly carved in the same workshop characterized of outstanding quality of workmanship. Size, material, stylistic and technical characteristics leave no doubt about it. Both belong to the best examples of figurative art of the transition period from the Roman to the Byzantine Times, dated to 400-410 AD. The busts are displayed together.

The object is displayed in the exhibition, MACEDONIA, Hall 3.
