Description

The photograph shows a limestone statue of a standing male figure seen from behind. The head has short hair rendered as a mass, and curved carved lines cross the shoulders. The arms hang bent at the sides, the surface is weathered, and faint blue pencil lines mark the thigh, with the statue set on a pale cloth against a plain grey backdrop.
