Roman, Marble (circa 2nd Century AD)
A well-figured hand holding a cup, broken off a statue. Ancient marble fragments, although more commonly seen than bronze, frequently are missing parts or damaged due to the material itself. Finding complete fragments in good condition is relatively uncommon.
Collection of Drs. Arnold-Peter & Yvonne Weiss
