This pair of young deer is a reproduction of the same dimensions as the originals preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Naples with inventory numbers 4888 and 4886. These Roman sculptures from the 1st century AD. They were discovered in the Villa dei Papyri during an exploration campaign that lasted from 1750 to 1765 outside the Herculaneum site. 93 works of art were discovered in this villa known for its exceptional decoration and, above all, for the numerous manuscripts that were discovered there. The original couple decorated the peristyle of the villa.
