For the same reason why any work of art was made before 1600: because somebody commissioned it.
and plus .....he felt like sculpting something and that was the first thing that popped into his mind.
I find the above answer extremely vague. The real answer is that nobody knows. It was just his job to make sculptures because he got paid to do it. It was discovered while excavating and it had lost it's head, so any sculptures of this are fake-a mismatched head! :)
