The Met Store Giambologna: Medici Walking Horse Sculpture
427.95 USD
Bonded Bronze Horse, Fine Art Sculpture The Museum's sculpture is based on a model by Giovanni Bologna, called Giambologna (Netherlandish, ca. 1529-1608) that was probably cast in the workshop of sculptor Giovanni Francesco Susini (Italian, ca. 1575-1653).

The Met Store Veiled Dancer Sculpture
182.95 USD
Our bonded-bronze reproduction is based on an original Greek statuette in the Museum's collection believed to be from the 3rd-2nd century BCE that shows the expressive qualities of a swirling dancer's drapery. The woman's face is covered by the sheerest of veils, discernible at its edge below her hairline and at the cutouts for the eyes. Her extended right foot shows a laced slipper. This dancer has been convincingly identified as a depiction of one of the professional entertainers, a combination of mime and dancer, for which the cosmopolitan city of Alexandria was famous in antiquity.
The Met Store Cycladic Head Sculpture
352.95 USD
This strikingly abstract sculpture was reproduced from an intriguing marble head of a woman, of a type that represents the first flowering of marble sculpture in prehistoric Greece. The original head, made 2700-2500 BCE, is from the Cyclades, an island group in the Aegean Sea that's rich in marble, emery, and obsidian. Inhabitants of these islands began to produce marble figures and vessels as early as 5000 BCE. Little is known about these figural sculptures, which are predominantly women; the frequency of female figures makes it likely they were related to fertility. The Met's ancient sculpture displays traces of the eyes in extremely low relief, indicating they were formerly rendered with pigment.
