Figure on Plinth

JPEG Image of Figurine No. 2334
Fragment of plinth figurine preserving part of back and right side of plinth as well as lower right leg of human figure standing on top plinth surface. Right leg and unarticulated foot face frontally, offering no indication of contrapposto stance. Very slight downward curving folds visible on outside of lower right leg, evidencing that figurine was draped. No indication of drapery over front of leg suggests transparent drapery. Front face of plinth entirely missing making it impossible to determine whether plinth was decorated or carried molded edges. Color: 2.5YR light red 6/6 (Munsell code)
