Below the figure (carved of the same piece) is a lotus inlaid with faience, which is on top of a rectuangular panel with geometric inlays. The details of the figure are carved on the back of the piece. The back of the lotus and of the rectangle are flat. There is a red pigment under the inlay.The carving appears to be genuine, but the composition of the piece is unusual.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/71.536' rel='external'>Male Figure</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
