The torso is part of a large statue, possibly an ex-voto, since similar works have been found in various Cypriot sanctuaries (Idalion, Arsos, Kition) and primarily at Golgoi and Pyla. It is considered to represent a priest or a religious official. For several centuries Cypriot sculpture was an amalgam of local traits and foreign influences. In the early examples, it is obvious the impact of the monumental sculpture from the Near East and Egypt: massive bodies and pronounced facial features (prominent nose, projecting lips and eyes, big ears). Gradually, however, the Cypriot sculptors adopted Greek stylistic trends, and particularly the style of the Greek cities of Ionia, creating works demonstrating attention to anatomical detail and refinement in expression. The garments are often in the Hellenic mode, which dominated Cyprus from the late 5th c. BC.
