Focus on Croatian Apoxyomenos and discuss the abstract.
The Croatian Apoxyomenos (Croatian: Hrvatski Apoksiomen) is an Ancient Greek statue cast in bronze in the 2nd or 1st century BC; it was discovered in 1996 on the bottom of the sea near the Croatian islet of Vele Orjule, southeast of the island of Lošinj. It represents an athlete – Apoxyomenos ('the Scraper') – in the act of scraping sweat and dust from his body with the small curved instrument called a strigil.
After the Croatian Apoxyomenos was raised from the sea in 1999, it was extensively restored. It was not  publicly displayed until 2006. It is the most complete and best preserved among eight known Apoxyomenos statues.
