Male Terminal Figure; Torso with Beard and Turban on a Half- Length P
A bearded male terminal figure with a turban emerges from a tapering pedestal set within an oval shield-shaped frame. Garlands hang from a mask at the top, and suspended ornaments with knotted cords flank the sides. The fine etched lines model the musculature and the ornamented base.
Look closer: A small lion-like mask sits at the base of the pedestal.
