Statuette of a Comic Actor, A.D. 1-125. Additional Info: The chubby figure on a round base plate squats with buttocks projecting. He sticks two fingers of his right hand into the corner of his mouth, probably to help produce a flatulent sound, while his left hand is thrust back to emphasize the appropriate action of his rear end. He wears a comic mask and a tight-fitting "body suit" with a round, sweater-like neckline, covered with a fine, cross-hatched pattern. This costume has an anus indicated on the tights, and is completed by a large, limp penis which dangles to the ground between his legs. A narrow scarf, decorated with incised stripes, is worn over his left shoulder.
