Description

A standing limestone statue of a nude male figure, shown full length against a plain grey backdrop, with one arm raised to the head and the hand gripping the hair. The other arm is broken off at the upper arm, and the hair is set in rows of small curls above a slight smile. The weathered surface is pitted and flaked in places, and the figure stands on a rectangular base.
