  • Remarks
    It is uncertain whether this "plaster cast" of "a man broken from O.K. statue" is actually part of an ancient sculpture, part of a plaster mummy mask or cartonnage, or a modern reproduction or cast of an ancient object. Since it seems to have an associated field number, it seems most likely to be an ancient artifact.
