"Naked dwarf squatting on a rectangular plinth and holding his hands in front of the belly. The head with big almond-shaped eyes, thick nose and nice archaic smile. The hair on the back with horizontal steps.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nThis kind of paunchy dwarf figurines is thought to be inspired by the dwarf god Paitakos, the Egyptian patron of children.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nFor a Rhodian example cf.
