Giving Good Greek Head

Head of Greek Wrestler, British Museum

I've had this incredibly beautiful antique Greek bronze head as my desktop image for a while. And stare in awe at it every time boot up. So I thought why not post it!

But I know nothing about it - and I've unsuccessfully surfed the net for ... it seems, ever. Particularly the British Museum's homepage.

So if anyone has any knowledge ... I'd love to hear.
