Civil official
Standing sculpture of a human figure with a serene expression, eyes cast downward and to the right. The figure wears a long, flowing robe with folds and creases; the robe's fabric appears to be intricately detailed. A tall, rounded headdress sits atop the figure's head. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or ceramic and features a base resembling a tree stump. The figure's hands are clasped in front of their body. The overall appearance is that of an ancient, possibly Asian, civil official. Artist: unknown. Title: Civil official.
