A bronze Assyrian statue of a priest
Wearing a "Konakes" a typical dress of that period
it has a lot of beautifull details like the belt that goes under the dress
the toes are well engraved
it is quite heavy for an 18 cm statue
this priest looks up, it reminds us of the monotheism and the hands are held together same as in prayer.
