Laocoön Redux

I don't know who duplicated the famed statue in miniature, or when the scoundrel carried it out.  I do notice that Laocoön straightens his right arm to pull the snake away in this copy, while the Vatican displays the current construction with the elbow bent to reach behind himself.  (n.b. also of the precipitous decline in wang percentage)




Just a guy wearing a fig leaf, hanging out with his naked sons, being attacked by snakes.  Nothing to see here, move along folks.
