ancient sculpture
Old civilization carvings
Ancient sculpture refers to three-dimensional artworks created by early civilizations—Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mesopotamian—typically carved from stone or cast in bronze.
The term encompasses everything from monumental statues to small figurines, though Greek and Roman works dominate Western museum collections and art historical discussions: The gallery's ancient sculpture wing features Roman copies of Greek originals.
