# Long description

The photograph shows a bronze figurine of a man, displayed against a black background. The figurine is shown naked apart from four bracelets, one at the top of each arm just below the shoulder, and one on each wrist. He stands with his arms outstretched, and his palms are both open. Two wings made of overlaying feathers sprout from his back, and these are positioned directly behind his arms. His hands reach approximately three-quarters of the way along the wings. His hair is arranged in wavy clumps, and his face is unsmiling, with eyes fixed straight in front of him. The muscles on his torso are clearly visible, and so are his genitalia. His left leg is straight while his right is slightly bent, as if to indicate walking or flying. The right leg is broken at the mid-point of the calf, and the bronze of the whole figurine shows some slight weathering.
