NAKED MALE FIGURE

Description Mannequins of this type had removable wooden arms fixed in the holes located at shoulder height. They were later dressed in clothes and possibly equipped with wooden weapons and shields. The figurine depicts a naked man in a rigid standing posture, with barely hinted anatomical parts and a well-characterized head. The face has the features of a young man, with his long hair brought back and secured in a small bun behind his head; a second bun on top of his head appears to be held together by a central ribbon. The body is thin, with only suggested bones and muscles: the chest and buttocks slightly pronounced, the toes incised, the genitals shaped in relief. The pink slip covers the figurine almost entirely; traces of the black hair pigment and other dark spots can be seen on the face, back, chest, and legs.
