Figure of Atlas

Panel with an atlas. The atlas squats and rests his hands but without a ledge to sit on. The small wings are separate from the body except at the upper arms and shoulders; the curved wing tops with beaded outline have a lozenge pattern formed by centrally grooved coverts above grooved and pointed flight feathers.
