Description :
This demon with a human face has hair and a beard bristling in the shape of flames. His expression is that of pathos borrowed from Hellenistic influence: deep gaze, half-open mouth. Restored on his bust in the Guimet Museum, the demon is bare-chested. From his left hand, held to his chest, a flame gushes out.
