Description

A limestone statue of a male figure, shown from the head to the upper thighs, with both arms broken off at the shoulders. The head has a faintly smiling face with large almond-shaped eyes and hair arranged in rows of tight ridges across the top. The surface is pitted and weathered, with lighter patches across the chest, and the lower body ends in a flat, broken edge against a dark plain background.
