Object type: pilaster-capital Museum number: 1907,0118.2 Description: Corinthian marble pilaster-capital with Leda and the swan. Culture/period: Roman Date: 3rd C (early) Findspot: Excavated/Findspot: Crete Materials: marble Dimensions: Height: 43.18 centimetres, Width: 34.29 centimetres Curator's comments: Cretan provenance mentioned in list of sculptures sent by Thomas Abel Brimmage Spratt to Birch of the BM. They were destined for his own collection. The list is kept in the Middle East department in a bound volume of letters, "Correspondance, New Series, Volume 12", letter 5493. Letter dated April 6th, 1858 but there is a reference to a crate of antiquites from Crete in a letter of 1854, so the sculpture was found prior to that date.

The small hamlet of Copiague in the town of Babylon encompasses the neighborhoods of Copiague Harbor and Amity Harbor on Long Island's South Shore. This culturally diverse area with a strong Italian influence offers a small-town setting where residents are drawn together frequently for school, church, library, and social activities. A newly formed beautification society has worked to improve the area and has been active in bringing together the Copiague community for a number of annual events. One of the area highlights is Tanner Park, which offers a beach on the Great South Bay and a cultural building with a senior citizen center, baseball and soccer fields, and a boat marina. The cluster of small, picturesque sea-going vessels lends Copiague a resort-like touch. The elite neighborhood of Copiague Harbor offers an exclusive community and some of the finest homes in New York State. Text from: www.weichert.com/NY/Suffolk/Copiague/

Leda and the Swan Unknown Roman, A.D. 1 - 100 Marble H: 52 x W: 32 7/8 x D: 20 1/2 in. 70.AA.110 Greek mythology tells the story of Leda, a mortal woman and queen of Sparta who caught the eye of Zeus, king of the gods. Zeus had frequent affairs with mortals and often disguised himself as an animal in order to avoid angry husbands and fathers. He appeared to Leda in the form of a swan, who here is drawn by Leda into her lap while she holds up a sheltering cloak. Found in 1775 in Rome, this statue is a Roman copy of an earlier Greek statue from the 300s B.C. attributed to Timotheos. More than two dozen copies of this statue survive, attesting to the theme's popularity among the Romans. The contrast of the clinging transparent drapery on Leda's torso, especially over her left breast, and the heavy folds of cloth bunched between her legs characterizes Timotheos's style. The statue both conceals and reveals the female body: a tension often found in sculpture of the 300s B.C., before actual female nudity became acceptable.
