- Description
- R. foot rests on the base and is freestanding except for an attachment at the inner side of the back. L. foot is advanced in relief. The stylized feet and toes are elongated. The slanted break above the ankles is smoothed and left with a ridge used, apparently, for attaching it to the next piece above. The diagonal break at front of l. foot also appears to be original. Feet and relief background are highly polished; base and flat back of statuette show rougher abrasive marks.
