Limestone Torso of a Hunter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007

Limestone Torso of a Hunter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007
Limestone torso of a hunter
Roman, Imperial period, 1st or 2nd century AD

Accession # 20.191

This figure of a hunter, thrusting his spear as he lunges forward, was probably part of a sculptural group that must have shown at least the animal he attacks. Other men and dogs could also have been included in a hunting scene that was very popular in both the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
