Source Description
This flat, schematic statuette depicts a man making an offering. He wears a mantle over his left shoulder, covering his lower body, and on his head is a stylized foliate wreath. His proper right hand holds a phiale, a shallow dish for pouring a libation, while the small object in his left hand is likely an incense container.
