Deer

Coarse-grained white marble, late Hellenistic period
Rome, Via Filippo Turati
Rome, Musei Capitolini, Centrale Montemartini, inv. MC 923

This sculpture belongs to a group that would be ideally completed by the figure of Artemis, of which there remains only part of the right foot, wearing a sandal, and the imprint of the left leg bent over the deer's back.
