A fragmentary right foot of a statuette is preserved on a plinth is roughly rhomboid in shape. Part of the large toe is missing from the foot which is preserved from the front of the arch forward. The toes are very long, the second and third toes 3.0 cm in length. The drill was used for the spacing of the toes and the inner contour of the instep. The joints and nails of all the toes are carved except for the first toe which is broken away. The modeling is of good quality. Not enough remains of the foot to indicate its position or the kind of composition to which the foot belonged. Since this is an unshod foot, it probably belongs to a male figure, perhaps nude, or at least with bare legs and feet.
