him with a sword.
The left foot of the Minotaur is placed upon a heap, perhaps
the centre of the labyrinth, which is represented in shape of an

It is not known whence this sculpture came originally, but it
was presented to the British Museum in 1812, by the late Charles
Lambert, Esq.
It is 1 foot 10 inches in length, and 1 foot 9 inches in height.
