Part of the cornice of the architrave is still visible above this warrior who was in a Atlas-like position. He wears a tetrahedral headdress finished in volutes at the top and at each end. The facies is of the Central Asian type. The face is old and wrinkled, round in shape, the features are chiselled, the nose wide, the lips thick. The hair is long, straight and fine. He wears a short-sleeved tunic that seems to be trimmed (with fur?) at the collar and chest.
