Coin Bank, A.D. 25-50. Additional Info: A chubby, curly-haired, four or five year old girl sits on the ground begging, her right hand outstretched for a coin. She is not, however, portrayed as poverty stricken. Her tunic is elaborated with inlaid copper stripes, and incised zigzag ornament, presumably imitating embroidery, frames the neckline. The charms of this work as a piece of sculpture should not, however, mask its function, that of a coin bank. The girl's left hand pulls down the front of her tunic, emphasizing the coin slot cut in her chest.
