A nude, winged figure stands against a low boulder-like mass. The figure’s head and feet are missing along with the bottom of his right wing, and his left leg is bent back. A shape suggesting a swath of fabric is draped across his left hip and over his left arm. At his left hip, his hands hold the edge of a ring-shaped crown. The statue is a uniform light tan. Light parallel sculpted lines are visible on the figure’s chest and belly.
