Description: Wings were originally attached to the back. Eros is often shown as a small chubby child in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In Egypt he is closely associated with Harpocrates. The youthful version here is more typical of the Greek type of the Hellenistic period, which corresponds to the Ptolemaic period in Egypt. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | figure statuette | Temporal: | name=Hellenistic; start=-200; end=-30 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
