Description

A marble figure of a young child lies on its side, head resting on one arm with eyes closed and short curly hair. The child's body is stretched over an uneven base with wave-like or scaled carving and a projecting element with a round hole at the right end. It stands on a light shelf against a plain backdrop, with a measuring scale strip and a number label in front.
