The figure, probably of a man, is well modelled on the frontal side and flat on the back. The head, disproportionately large in comparison with the body, ends at the hairline; the face is very expressive, with large oval eyes, drilled pupils and arched eyebrows (with red colour inside); the nose (damaged in the lower part) is thin; the small mouth is slightly smiling. The dress is not defined. |
