Description

The statuette, of which only the head, shoulders, right arm above the elbow and partly the torso survived, originally represented a standing man. He wears a short curled wig covering his ears; the upper part of the wig consists of long parallel locks reaching the level of the forehead and temples, the curls below are treated as small rectangles. Although badly damaged, the statuette reveals high quality of work. The face was carefully modelled as well as the muscles of the body. The skin is painted red, the wig, eyebrows, eyelids and pupils are black, the whites are white.
