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 grown man with high cheekbones and a square jaw, with his long hair combed back and brought back in a bun on the top of his head. 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 flesh-colored slip almost entirely covers the figurine, while other pigments have not been preserved.
