Description :

The head of this warrior is very damaged. Of the completely broken helmet, only the chinstrap remains, passing under the chin. He is an elderly warrior with wrinkled eyes and a moustache. The face bears the mark of Western influence. The expression of the gaze, carried upwards under frowning eyebrows, is melancholic and affected.
