The headband worn by this athelete allows us to recognise this sculpture as an antique replica of the Diadumenos ("one attaching" a headband around their head), the original of which can be found at the National Museum of Athens. This type, created around 440-430 BC by the bronze sculpture Polykleitos, depicts the celebration of an athlete.
