CA. 200 AD. Western Asiatic. Beautiful cream alabaster figurine of a standing male. The figure, who wears a loose tunic, holds his hands by his side, and appears to be barefoot. He sports a carefully-defined chin-strap beard and neatly-kept hair. The identity of the individual is unclear but it is likely that such an intricate item reflects religious beliefs. Excellent condition.Size: L:230mm / W:70mm ; 1.2kg; Provenance: Property of a London gallery, previously in old British collection formed in the 1980s.
