Limestone statuette of a temple boy
The boy sits on a slanted plinth, his left leg bent against the body, the right bent up in three-quarter profile and the foot flat on the plinth. The body, in a relaxed position, is totally nude, chubby, the genitalia large; the penis is missing. The left hand rests on a turtle. The broken right hand probably held a bird; there are remains of a tail. A bracelet circles the left wrist and a chain of amulets hangs from the right shoulder. The pendants are summarily rendered. The head is turned three-quarters to its right. The face is smiling and the eyes are slightly open. The nose is broken. The head is covered with wavy locks. The back is not worked.
