Statue

Large, bearded statue made in two separate parts. Stiff, upright body with very broad shoulders, left arm bent over body, right forearm raised in greeting. Short, powerful neck. Rounded face with short beard, rendered by parallel rows of small curls. Straight mouth, short, broad nose, faintly modelled eyes marked by means of paint. The short hair is arranged in two rows of small curls held together by a thick ribbon in the hair. The statue has heavy boots tied around the ankle, with the knot on the front side. Long-sleeved plain chiton to below the knees; over left shoulder hangs a plain himation leaving right side of breast and both arms uncovered. Greenish-grey terracotta. Traces of paint all over the statue: red boots; grey himation; reddish hands; grey beard; reddish face with black eyes and eyebrows; black hair.
