Description	He is draped in a narrow cloak, similar to that worn by figures Me-17 and Me-18 except that it is much longer: this garment falls obliquely across the back from the right shoulder, is caught up over the extended left forearm, dips low in ia kind of arc-concealing the genitalia- and is finally brought up and coiled about the raised right arm. . Coiffure also similar to Me-17 and 18 but with cap. . The key to the identity could be in the missing attributes of all 3 figures (Hutchinson)
