Description from the seller

The statue depicts the athlete with the left leg bent forward and the sole of the foot resting on the ground, while the right leg is extended back with the heel raised; the torso is thrust forward; the right arm is bent while the left is lowered; the head is slightly turned toward the shoulders; the hair, with short tufts on the forehead, is arranged in two opposing locks in the shape of tongs; the eyes are well detailed. It is probably a copy of Greek statues from the late 4th century or early 3rd century BCE that celebrate a victorious athlete in one of the great Panhellenic games.
