Anthropomorphic figure carved in coral, from Empúries (l'Escala, Alt Empordà) and dated between the 1st-2nd centuries AD. The figure of small dimensions, 4.1 cm long and 1.9 cm wide, represents a character crouching with the arms extended holding on the sides of the body, with his hands on his knees. The position, slightly forced, is given by the shape of the coral branch that serves as a support.
