The head is bent slightly to the right and the left arm is raised - the left hand is held in front of the body as if holding something. The gesture of the right hand is also meaningless unless it once held the end of some object. The area between the shoulder blades is dented and the slots for attaching the wings remain. title: figure NOTES ----- type: history note value: E.L.
