Description
This warrior wearing a Phrygian bonnet has a moustache and a shaved chin. The hair falls over the forehead and cheeks in thick locks. The face expresses pathos: the eyebrows are frowned upon, the lips half-open. The position of his head in relation to the torso suggests that the figure was placed in the position of a Atlas-like figure. He appears to be half shirtless, wearing a garment that begins below his chest.
