This bust of a warrior was placed in an Atlas-like position. The face is completely mutilated and framed by roughly figured curls. He is dressed in a thick tunic decorated with chevron motifs, also very damaged. The hand raised at shoulder level seems to be brandishing a weapon, a fly swatter or a lasso.
