Relief of Three Dancing Nymphs
Roman, made in Athens, 25 8C—AD 100
Marble

Thought to derive from a lost work of the fourth century Bc by the Greek sculptor Praxiteles, this Roman-period relief was carved in Athens in a workshop that specialized in decorative copies of famous images for luxurious villas. It was discovered around 1895 at an uncertain site in present-day Libya.
