Once you notice them, you can’t unsee them: the statues all have mustaches. Well, the pre-Hellenistic statues do. Let’s take a short look at some of the best mustaches in the Nicosia Museum of Cyprus.

Semi-connected mustache. Elegant, geometric, works well with this statue’s bone structure. 8/10

Thin with clean jaw. Poorly considered with bone structure. Still a statement. 4/10

Same style as above, but bushier. Lovely curvature. Disconnected from beard. Clearly finely brushed. 5/10

Curly, disconnected from heard. Take into consideration bone structure and curly beard. 6/10

Understated, but clearly following the trend. Very distinct disconnection from beard. 7/10

Back to this elongated shape. Thin on top, but long on the sides. Disconnected but overlapping beard. 7/10

What a statement! Long, curled, clearly waxed to define the difference between beard and mustache. 8/10

Luxurious, curled, slightly disconnected but matches the beard. Dionysus gets 10/10
