Figure of Atlas

Atlas. The atlas has a moustache and is seated as in BM 1880.183 but with his left leg horizontal, and both legs are booted. The short wings, with vestiges of feathers, are almost lost. The undercut arms show biceps and extend from the body to rest their hands beside the right boot and on the left knee.
