-Seated Humpty Dumpty- still bank c. 20th century

"Seated Humpty Dumpty" is an anonymous still bank from the 20th century. Made of copper, the sculpture depicts a stylized Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall. The figure has a cheerful expression, wearing a hat and bowtie, and its legs dangle over the edge of the wall. This piece of whimsical Americana would have been popular with children of its time, encouraging them to save money. The bank is a charming example of folk art and is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
