Miniature Skeleton (sculpture (visual works); Unknown (Roman sculptor); 1st century CE; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 78.AB.307)

Note: Pin holes in the clavical bone show that the arms were separately attached and moveable. The same is true of the pelvis bone where the left femur is still attached. The other end of the femur also has a pin hole for the attachment of the tibia. Only the pin remains off the right leg. Most of the right side ribs and both arms are missing. The neck and head are also attached by pins. The skeleton has round eye sockets and a wide, grinning mouth with large upper teeth.
