This is my most favorite version of Antinous. He is so beautiful *sigh*
Just curious, how big is the bust?

Glad you like it! It is about 12 inches tall and better quality than I thought it would be. They had another one of the bust from the Vatican but it was too expensive to buy. Maybe another time.

Apart from the face being extremely beautiful the sculpture itself is really well- made, almost seems like it shines!

Thank you! There are some shiny bits in it!
