Annotation:[Canterbury Catalog: Bronze statuette of Hercules without pedestal. Naked figure with right arm raised and tiger skin folded over left arm, bent at the elbow. Right hand did hold an object now broken off, possibly a club. A club or possibly another object is held aloft in left hand. "Supposed modern", therefore was most likely cast from an ancient statue or object.]
