Hellenistic Girl Holding a Pet Animal in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007

Hellenistic Girl Holding a Pet Animal in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007

Marble statue of a girl holding a pet animal
Greek, Hellenistic period, 3rd century BC.

Accession # 26.60.89

The child wears a peplos with a long overfold and over it a sleeveless chiton that has slipped off her left shoulder. She has gathered up the front portion to carry a small animal, probably a pet puppy. Such statues of children were often dedicated as votives in sanctuaries or served as funerary monuments.
