Head of Warrior
Pratès - Figure
This warrior takes on the features of a Western male deity, Poseidon/Neptune or Zeus/Jupiter. The voluminous hair is treated in short, smooth locks. He wears a moustache and a thick beard, arranged in thick symmetrical locks. The facial features depict an elderly man. His eyebrows are furrowed, his gaze worried, his mouth drooping, his expression is full of pathos. His head seems to be tucked into his shoulders, his head tilted slightly forward, but his neck is not visible. Perhaps he was placed in an Atlas-like position.
