-Humpty Dumpty- still bank c. 1920s

This small bronze still bank, created in the 1920s by an anonymous artist, depicts the iconic nursery rhyme character Humpty Dumpty perched precariously on a wall. This charming and whimsical piece of folk art likely served as a popular children's toy and reminder of the well-known tale. The detailed sculpting of Humpty Dumpty's features and the realistic portrayal of the brick wall add to the charm of this small but significant sculpture, now a part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
