Description

A small pale stone statue of a standing nude male figure stands on a stack of wooden blocks. One arm is raised so the hand rests near the top of the head, and the other arm is bent at the side. The figure turns slightly, with the face in profile, and a strong raking light casts a large shadow across the plain wall behind it.
