The Metropolitan Museum of Art William Eraser | Office

Since Its Arrival At The Museum In 1917 The Egyptian Faience Sculpture Has Been A Favorite With Visitors, And For Many Years Has Been Known As “William”— The Metropolitan’S Unofficial Mascot. Like The Original, Our William® Eraser Is Playfully Decorated With Drawings Of Lotus Blossoms And Marsh Plants Which Remind Us Of His Favorite Habitat, The Shallow Banks Of The Nile River.
