A 2,300-year-old marble statuette found in Alexandria, Egypt, has supplied new insights into how dwarves had been perceived through the Ptolemaic interval (332–150 B.C.). Depicting a muscular, nude dwarf in movement, the 4-inch sculpture displays a mixture of Egyptian and Greek inventive traditions. Regardless of lacking its arms, legs, and a part of the top, the craftsmanship of the piece signifies a extremely expert rendering of human anatomy. It’s presently housed on the Metropolitan Museum of Artwork in New York Metropolis.
