Description	Right arm at side, hand appears to be holding a jug. Left arm raised, holds torch or drinking horn which rests against his shoulder and hand. Left leg forward. No neck, face crudely depicted, shoulder length hair in roughly depicted ringlets on left side, but only roughly cut at the back. Top knot. No modelling of leg - just a straight shaft with a triangular foot. Fingers and thumb depicted on left hand. Slightly chubby, basic depiction of drapery folds although the thighs are indicated beneath the tunic which flares out behind. Flattish, basic depiction on the rear (similar to figure from Colchester and Diana 129).
