A Hellenistic terracotta statue of a drummer. The figure, fragmented at the legs, shows a figure playing a drum held at the left hip. The figure is caught, hands on drum, playing the instrument. These finely moulded figures, often highly decorated, rose in popularity during the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. Common themes include fashionable women, gods and goddesses, heroic athletes, and bacchanalian merriment.
