Fragment of a Male Figurine

anonymous, c. -0206 - c. -0009

Used as a grave offering, this figurine was not actually naked. It was originally a standing figure, but its arms and lower body have been lost, along with the actual clothes on the sculpture. Attention was lavished on the modelling of the curvature of the pectorals.
