Notes on support and decorations | A stela with a probable male figure in high relief, with his hands clasped on the chest. The figure wears a long plain tunic with rounded cuffs; the short neck shows three rolls of fat; the face, broken on the left half, shows well characterized features: large, almond-shaped eyes with drilled pupils, arched eyebrows, straight nose and small mouth. The head ends at the hairline, coinciding with the slab top. |
