A hollow cast bronze left foot from a male statue. Five toes and the front part of the foot are preserved. A crack runs along the left side of the foot with four scratches appearing above it. The slope of the foot indicates that the weight was placed on the toes with the heel lifted off the base. The large toe is hollow with an opening on the underside; the other four toes are solid. A larger vent also appears on the bottom of the foot. The large toe is shorter than the index; the four smaller toes are slightly curled under and the small toe curls toward its neighbor.
