Head, arms and legs are missing. The supporting leg on the right with the thigh reaching almost to the knee is led diagonally to the middle of the body. The free leg is slightly bent in the hip joint and was probably set back. The left shoulder is slightly raised. The right waist is more drawn in than the left. The right upper arm, slightly angled from the torso, is broken off approximately in the middle. The left is close fitting to the upper body. The position of the arms to be completed suggests that the sitter is performing an act of sacrifice. It was possibly a burial statue. The statue is a Greek original.
