BC Dimensions:2.75" (7.0cm) high Collection: Classical Antiquities Medium: Bronze
Capped and mantled in priestly attire, his
gestures simple and his stance proud, this little
votive speaks silent testimony about the age-old
dreams of men. What wishes were the gods
supposed to grant in return for the eternal
prayers of this offering? Happiness? Long life?
Wealth and prosperity? Are the dreams of men
today any different after all this time?
