Roman Skeleton Miniature Bronze Replica Figurine, metal, articulated, stand included, 4.1H

This reproduction of a 1st century Roman skeleton (Larva Convivalis) is a fascinating display piece for any home or office. Originally from the collection of the Getty Villa Museum, this articulated bronze figure features round eye sockets and a wide grinning mouth with large teeth, conveying the brevity of human life. While its arms and lower legs are now missing, the skeleton's design allows it to once have jumped and danced as a "banquet ghost" in Roman times, reminding spectators of mortality. Standing at 4.1 inches tall, this detailed replica makes for an interesting conversation starter while also representing ancient Roman art and culture. Display it on your desk or bookshelf as a thoughtful decoration especially during Day of the Dead Dia de los Muertos celebrations.
