Terracotta Vase in the Form of a Sleeping African Boy in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010

Terracotta Vase in the Form of a Sleeping African Boy in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Terracotta Vase in the Form of a Sleeping African Boy
Cypriot, ca. 3rd-2nd century BC
Said to be from Cyprus

From the Cesnola collection, Accession # 74.51.2263

The sleeping boy's nakedness and exhausted state suggest that he is a slave or servant. Vases of this shape probably held perfumed oils.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
