This statue is called the Jennings Dog, also known as the Duncombe Dog or the dog of Alcibiade. It is a marble statue of a Molesian dog with a trimmed tail, which is a Roman replica of a copper original from the Hellenistic period. This statue is 1.05 meters tall and was discovered in Monte Cagnuolo, Rome. This statue became very famous after arriving in England and was praised as one of the masterpieces of Roman animal sculpture. It was acquired by the British Museum in 2001 and is now exhibited in Hall G22.
