Bust of Warrior
Bāgh Gaï - Figure
This beheaded warrior appears to be bare-chested, with his left shoulder and arm covered by a cloak. Two straps crossed over the chest are held by a circular medallion. The soldier holds the hilt of his sword in his left hand but from below, as if to present it. Perhaps he was holding the blade with his right hand.
