S Male Figure Holding Foot This statue shows a boy plucking a thorn from his foot and is sometimes called Spinario, but I think of it as a hybrid thinker statue. The original statue can be found at the Palazzo dei Conservatori, Rome, and was originally made in the 1st century BC. The thinker was first named Fedele (faithful) because it was thought to be a portrait of Marcius (mercari, mercury), the Roman messenger that would not delay his mission even though he was painfully tortured by a thorn in his foot. This designer casting combines artistic vision with a legend that transcends the ages.   Finished: $58 Finish: Classic Faux Marble Gray-White Faux Marble Plain White White Beige Antiquing Sandstone Fogging Gold Leaf Gold Leaf Walnut Antiquing Black Verdigris Gold Black Faux Marble Faux Bronze Texture: High GlossSemi-Gloss Flat Item: #01100 Size: 7"x4"x3” Weight: 2.0 lbs.   Full List > Statues > Previous - Next
