Description
The features of this young warrior in a Atlas-like position are roughly executed. The bulging gaze is turned upwards, the lips are half-open. He is dressed in a short-sleeved tunic and protects himself with a rectangular shield. In his right hand, he is brandishing a short, broad sword, which appears in the foreground of the architrave cornice that he was pretending to support.
