A figurine in half relief, depicting a naked man with his hands behind his back. The face is very crudely depicted and he may be wearing a hat.There are rivet holed inside the bend of his elbows which cut into his upper arms and a third through the top of his head. A horizontal triple row of tiny punched dots traverses the middle of his stomach. This could represent a rope, which holds his arms behind his back. Similar puched dots are used to represent his pubic hair. The reverse is slightly hollowed. Given the arms and the possiblity of a rope this is presumably a prisoner.
