Bust of Warrior
Tapa Kalān - Figure
This warrior in a Atlas-like position is very damaged. Part of the architrave he was pretending to support is still visible. The hair is long and falls over the shoulders in fine strands. The soldier looks furious, his eyes exhorbated, his mouth drooping. He is protecting himself with a round shield, decorated with a rough face (according to Barthoux, a Medusa face), the edge of which is highlighted with a listel.
