Large lotus blossom held in right hand against breast. Condition: General condition good. On base and back of figure are extensive scattered deposits of encrustation. Condition of surface suggests that the piece was partially cleaned by a mechanical process. Object originally clasped in left hand (probably an ankh) now missing.
