Description

A standing male figure carved in limestone, with the head, torso and legs intact but both arms broken off at the upper arm. The hair is shown as a close band around the head, and the body is simply modelled with a rounded chest and narrow waist. Rosette-shaped ornaments decorate the sides of the thighs, and the figure stands on a plain block base against a grey backdrop.
