Dancing Dwarf in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009
Dancing Dwarf
Creator: Egyptian (Artist)
Period: 3rd century BC (Hellenistic)
Medium: cast bronze with silver inlay (Metal)
Accession Number: 54.1107
Measurements: 4 1/2 x 1 9/16 x 1 5/16 in. (11.4 x 4 x 3.3 cm)
Geographies: Alexandria, Egypt (Place of Origin)
The peaked cap suggests that the dancer is a mime who wears the traditional headdress of a clown or buffoon. Despite, or because of, their deformity, dwarfs held a respected position in Egyptian society and were often credited with magical powers.
