- Notes:
- Hollowed molded fragment of reddish-brown clay (MUNS 5 YR 5/4) from a single mold. The reverse side has been handmade. The piece was retouched and painted red. There is crude workmanship throughout and the clay is Delta quality. It was poorly laevigated and chip and straw impressions are visible in the clay. The walls are heavy and there are traces of plaster. There is a circular vent in the back which opens on the underside. The is also a green substance which might be painted plaster, evidently modern, on the base. Overall the piece is in good condition. The fragment represents an obese phallic man bearing a load in his left arm and standing bandy-legged with feet apart on a low base. The head is tilted to the left and there is a short garment over the abdomen.
