Description	It is rather schematically rendered, showing a tightly-bound seated or crouched man with lightly hunched back. The head and facial features appear damaged and worn. Clearly depicted is the rope that encircles the neck, links and binds the wrists, drops down onto the knees and coils back round the thigh and under the knees. The (fore-shortened) arms are thrust straight forward, and the large clasped hands are grooved at their distal end to represtent the interlocked fingers and thumbs. A very distinct series of five horizontal hoops on the figure's side was presumably intended to represent either ribs or clothing (Jackson).
