Male Adorant, probably from a Battle Standard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure with a slender build. He has long hair on either side of his face that falls to his shoulders. The figure wears a short pleated skirt and a conical hat. One leg is bent behind him at the knee. Both hands are clasped in front of his face. The figure appears to be made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze. The background is a plain gray color, transitioning to white at the bottom where the sculpture's shadow falls.
