Half body portrait of Nikus
This statue is made of green basalt and is dressed in military uniform. The nose was destroyed, possibly by Christians carving a cross on their forehead during the late Christian period. There are other damaged areas around the chest and nose. This statue is 47 centimeters high, 30 centimeters wide, and 24 centimeters deep. It is carved of Nikus, who was the nephew of Roman Emperor Augustus and the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. This statue may have been made around 19 AD and is now on display in the G70 exhibition hall of the British Museum.
The basalt statue "Olmec Giant Stone Head" from the heyday of the Olmec civilization
This is a basalt human head sculpture from the Olmec civilization, carved from large basalt boulders and currently housed in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico. The height of these avatars ranges from 1.17 meters to 3.4 meters, dating back to at least 900 BC, and is a prominent feature of the ancient Mesoamerican Olmec civilization. These huge sculptures only depict the head, possibly because it is widely believed in Central American culture that the head contains an individual's emotions, experiences, and soul. Each avatar has unique facial features and may therefore be seen as a portrait of the actual ruler.
