Bronze statuette of an acrobat

Unknown

3rd–2nd century BCE · Bronze · Greek and Roman Art

The acrobat has a curvature of the spine and stunted legs, but his muscles are strongly developed and his pose is nimble and athletic. He is apparently in the midst of an act, as his two hands grip something that is now missing.
