Seated Figure
The plaque shows a seated figure holding a basket of fruit and a staff. His drapery appears to be animal skin and falls to the ground at the right. The panel has suffered from burial and is desiccated and chipped on the surface, including half of the figure's face. It is broken at the left and upper right corners.
