Description :
This warrior has a similar appearance to warriors wearing a Phrygian bonnet, but is devoid of it. The face is surrounded by a "crown" of hair in the form of flames. On the rest of the head, the hair is straightened. The expression is full of passion and pathetic: the face is twisted in relation to the neck, the eyebrows are furrowed, the eyes are worried, the lips are half-open in a frightened or emotional pout.
