Lewis' "The Death of Cleopatra" (1876) shocked contemporary audiences for its realistic depiction of death, exhibited to great acclaim at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876. The sculpture was eventually used to mark a horse's grave at a racetrack #AncientBlackness

Yes, fewer features, but honestly, so much easier to use. Sit simplex!

Most excited about the charcoal and incised graffiti (the former, so often not recorded in earlier excavations and now lost!).
