| Description | The figurine is quite schematically rendered, though the form is well-observed within the limits of its size and function. It shows a seated or crouched man, probably bearded, with drawn-up haunches, bound with a rope or chain that encircles his neck, wrists and ankles. Of the linking rope only a small stub just above the ankle survives. The flexed legs and arms, with elbows on knees, are undivided and schematised, but the shoulders, waist , hips and buttocks are a little more realistically rendered (Jackson). |
