An Ivory Statuette
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 August 2013
Extract
The department of Graeco-Roman Antiquities in the British Museum possesses among its ivories, which deserve perhaps more attention than has hitherto been paid to them, a small statue representing a hunchback (Fig. 1).
The figure is three inches in height, and is placed on a circular moulded base, which is also of ivory and antique. The ivory has flaked and is worn away in places, but it is, as a whole, in good preservation, and nothing of importance has been lost. No information exists as to the provenance of the statuette, but it forms part of the Townley Collection, which was acquired by the Museum in 1805. That collection was made in Italy, and it may be presumed that the ivory was bought and probably found in the same country.
