An exact reproduction of Michelangelo's masterpiece in pure white Carrara marble. The horns on Moses' head are due to a misinterpretation in the Bible of Michelangelo's day. The word "shone" in Exodus 34:29 was mistranslated as "horned." Thus, Michelangelo read, "And Moses knew not that his face was horned," rather than "his face shone."
