content: This statue may be part of a set (same site? same artist?) with four others that are in the collection of the Getty Museum, object numbers 71.AA.461; 68.AA.21; 68.AA.22; and 94.AA.22 (search: http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/).The Getty pieces are said to be Roman, about 200 A.D., depictions of Muses, the goddesses of learning and the arts. They have several similarities with the NMNH one: they are about the same size, made of white marble, rough back (as if from a niche rather than a freestanding sculpture), with a round base/pedestal, and a deep indentation on the bottom of the base.
