Seven marble sculptures from the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design were analyzed in order to determine the source of the raw materials. Stable carbon and oxygen isotope mass spectrometry was used in conjunction with grain-size measurements and visual information to attribute each sample to possible and likely sources. One of the sculptures tested, a Male Figure in the Guise of Hermes, actually consists of at least six parts; each was tested to determine whether marble from one or more quarries was used for this one work
