Seated boy

Unknown

ca. 325–300 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art

The boy sits on a thin, flat roughly triangular base, with his left leg folded flat on the base and his right knee bent. His left arm is bent forward and rests on his left leg. His right arm is also bent and rests on his right knee. He has a round face and short hair marked with shallow grooves. He wears a knee-length, short-sleeved tunic. Grooves on the sleeves and the border of the garment may indicate folds. A string of applied seals, amulets, and rings hangs across his chest from his left shoulder to underneath his right arm.
