Comic actor with shield

Mostly complete figurine. Standing actor, draped, holding a shield. Rounded bald head with abundant wavy hair at the sides. Furrowed brow; deep-set, almond-shaped eyes with both lids rendered in relief; broad nose. Open mouth, with the mustache and beard of a typical mask. Authoritative expression. He wears a simple garment, wrapped in the style of a himation, leaving the right arm bare, rolled around the chest, and draped over the left shoulder. The garment is short, however, stretched taught across a large, round belly, and ending just under it. A prosthetic phallus would have been exposed; perhaps that is what hangs by his left thigh. Shapely legs; right engaged, left bent at knee. The right arm extends forward and to the side and would have held a now missing object (a spear?). The left arm is kept close to the body, and obscured by a small, round shield with a six-point star in high relief. The back is plain and rough and seems to hint at a hump. Would have been painted originally. Traces of white ground extant at front. Pink pigment is visible on the shield, and red on the legs. Hollow but heavy; partly open bottom. Mold-made in multiple, deep, single-sided molds: one for the head, one for each arm, one for the body, and one for the shield. The back was formed with a plain slab of clay, rougher in texture. Oval venthole at mid back. Join seams carefully concealed. Partial fingerprints on interior surfaces. Light pink clay with some grog inclusions.
