Description
The hair of this warrior falls in big curls on his shoulders. Young, with a short, drooping moustache, his face is idealized. He wears heavy disc-shaped earrings. The soldier appears to be bare-chested, with a strap hanging from his shoulder and a wide belt holding a sword, his left hand is at the height of the scabbard, hanging from the belt. The upper cornice of the architrave that this figure in a Atlas-like position was pretending to support is still visible.
