dc.descriptionThis stone fragment depicts a man with several birds in trees. It is held within the collection of the Pius Christian Museum, which is part of the Vatican Museums. The Vatican Museums are public galleries that display about 20,000 of 70K works collected by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries. The museums were founded by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century. Only the Louvre in France receives more annual visitors than the Vatican Museums. The museums consist of 24 galleries, with the Sistine Chapel being the last room visited.
