Marble Sculpture (So.464)

Marble sculpture from Soli: a carved hand grips a tall banded shaft above a textured, draped base. — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C04156. Public domain (CC0).

Description

A marble sculpture photographed upright against a plain pale cloth backdrop. A slender shaft with ring-like bands rises diagonally, and a carved hand with curled fingers grips it near the middle. Below, the lower part has wavy, rough carved surfaces and ends in a round, flat base, and the stone looks weathered.
