Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An endearing bronze plaque of a recumbent mouse featuring a rotund body incised with petite dashes of fur as he adorably holds his front paws to his face as though nibbling upon a crumb. Mice were a constant of Roman life, and Roman literature and art frequently depicted mice undertaking human activities proportional to their size. Size: 1.5" W x 0.9" H (3.8 cm x 2.3 cm)
