Description

A weathered stone block carries a standing nude male figure carved in relief, with curly hair, one arm raised toward the head and the other bent at the waist. Branch-like forms appear on the left and an upright object with a tassel-like end on the right. The block is photographed upright against a draped cloth backdrop, and the surface is pitted and eroded.
