Amulet depicting an uncertain subject

Figure of a standing man. The man wears a headdress and has curly hair, it is unclear whether the man is bearded. He is dressed in a himation, which he holds with his left arm; the garment crosses his bare chest and drapes over the lower part of his body. The right arm is bent, and the man holds an object, possibly a patera. A suspension loop is present on the back. The feet are broken. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
