Tarentum (Italy), necropolis area, acquired in 1881
Limestone, 3rd century BC
By his skinny body, overly large head and short garment, the boy is characterised as a slave. It is very likely that the statue belonged to a large funerary monument in Tarentum. The boy probably looked up to the statue of his deceased master standing in a small funerary temple.
