Seated Athlete
Description
<p>This figure’s hairstyle and clearly damaged ears (often described as “cauliflower ears,” the likely result of sustained trauma to the head) indicate he is an athlete. Possibly a wrestler or a boxer, he reclines wearily, perhaps after a match. His eyes and tongue are inlaid with silver.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.726' rel='external'>Seated Athlete</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
