Wearing floral ear ornaments, a pendant necklace and loincloth. Legs crossed and resting his left hand on his leg, right hand projecting forward and resting on his raised knee. This is most probably an ancient portrait of a real priest. Repaired from several pieces with restoration over the break lines. This is a really great example. |
