Bronze Statuette of a Grotesque Dwarf with Silver Eyes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010

Bronze Statuette of a Grotesque Dwarf with Silver Eyes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Bronze Statuette of a Grotesque Dwarf with Silver Eyes
Greek or Roman, 1st century BC-1st century AD

Accession # 97.22.9

The dwarf wears a wreath and carries a large tray of eatables from which he is helping himself. He may be a caricature of a street hawker at a festival. He has an apron tied at the back of his neck, and a bag hangs at his side. The type is Hellenistic, but the execution is probably Roman.
