clioancientart:Today’s Fun Pic: One of a group of 8 half life sized terracotta figurines found near Porta Latina, Rome in 1767. Unusually well preserved, this figure of a girl probably represents one of the Muses. The statues seem to have been privately owned in antiquity and may have decorated a garden. These probably date to the late Republic or the Augustan era. Now in The British Museum, London. Photo Credit: Clio Ancient Art and Antiquities: http://www.clioancientart.com/ -- source link
