A plaster sculpture depicts a fragmented right leg with the upper thigh and ankle broken away. The form features a rounded knee and curved calf muscle, while a vertical seam runs down the front and side. Its weathered surface has a muted tan and gray color with a rough, pitted texture throughout. The leg hangs vertically, its anatomical contours set against a dark, neutral background.
