19th-century statue of Euclid by Joseph Durham in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The way that Euclid is holding the papyrus roll is historically accurate. The stubby cylinder in his right hand is probably a stylus which had to be sculpted thicker than it would have been in order to be rendered in stone.
