Description :
It is a warrior's bust in a Atlas-like position. The head, set into the shoulders, is small and disproportionate to the body. The soldier's hair is medium-length and straight, with a lock forming a puff on his forehead. The rest of the hair falls over the shoulders, covering ears with enlarged lobes. The face is idealised, soft and smiling. He is bare-chested and his hand is clutching an object at navel height, probably the handle of a sword.
