This figure has a flat back and rounded front. Only the head, shoulders and lower body are shown. the body widens then tapers and is rounded at the end. The head is chipped and also the surface around the front of one shoulder. The marble is discoloured with striations visible on the flat surface. (Lynch 2005) This schematic figurine appears unfinished. It is a crudely carved torso with small protrusions for arms. Extensions for head and legs are also visible with the former being rounded. No details of features have been attempted but the stone is smoothed and polished.
