L.2018.4.3 Memnon stands in the rigid posture of some Archaic Greek statues, with one leg slightly advanced.Stanford has depicted him arms missing, as if broken off. The small, square base on which he is positioned interrupts his legs just below the knee. Thus he evokes ancient sculpture as it so often reaches us: fractured, incomplete, and part buried. Yet he retains the lower half of his head, facing sideways. Part of his helmet is discernible, as are a stylised lock of hair and the inscrutable line of his mouth. Carved stone sculpture of Memnon, naked, carved with the bottom half of the head, torso, and legs to the knees. Left arm absent from shoulder and right arm missing from just below the elbow. Legs on a plinth with MEMNON carved into it.
REDMG:1935.87.14 Two shallow handles, facing upwards.
