Descriptions Published Catalogue Text: Stone Sculptures: The Greek, Roman and Etruscan Collections of the Harvard University Art Museums , written 1990100 Arm from a Small Statue The surfaces of the drapery over the upper part of this arm and the part of the arm preserved to the joint at the elbow are smoothly finished. The remains of large iron pegs, much corroded, protrude at either end, the peg closest to the shoulder having rusted into an irregular shape. The surfaces are stained brown from the iron pegs in either end. The marble is from Asia Minor. This appears to be the left arm from a small statue of a ruler with cloak on his left shoulder and left upper arm, or of a hero similarly represented. It is impossible to say whether the subject was wearing a cuirass or was shown in the heroic nude. Cornelius Vermeule and Amy Brauer Publication History Cornelius C.
