| Description | No accession number but probably part of the Butterworth Collection. Nude male standing with right arm raised, attribute missing from hand. Left arm at side, flat mitten hand. Left leg bent slightly, simple triangular feet, no toes depicted. Short projections below feet for fastening to a base. Cap hair with deep grooves, facial features crudely depicted. Small round dimples for nipples and belly button. Fairly simple depiction but proportions at front quite good (at the back the buttocks are too high which makes the legs appear too long) |
