Discophoros

The Discophoros, also spelled Discophorus (Greek – "Discus-Bearer"), was a bronze sculpture by the classical Greek sculptor Polyclitus, creator of the Doryphoros and Diadumenos, and its many Roman marble copies.

It is not, however, to be confused with Discobolus of Myron, which shows a discus being thrown, not carried.

Like the Doryphoros and Diadumenos, it was created as an example of Polyclitus's "canon" of the ideal human form in sculpture.

It features a young, muscular, solidly-built athlete in a moment of thought before throwing a discus.

These copies are also often missing their arms, which are often restored.
