Title
Nude Male Bust
Description
English: The small fragment was part of a statuette made of hard, high quality wood. The arms and the lower part of the body are now lost. It is likely that the artist reused material left from another, official commission, to piece together this figure. The figure is carved in the round and has a shaven head. His eyes are painted. He has pins in the shoulder for the attachment of his arms. The piece is finished at the waist, and has a hole through the core. It was probably set on a separately made lower body.
