Description
This warrior wears a hemispherical helmet, the edge of which is worked and set with a row of pastilles or cabochons framed by two scrolls. At the top, it has a square projection. At the attachment of the wide chinstrap is a plant ornament. The soldier's face has a furious expression. He frowns and gives a threatening look. His features bear the mark of the influence of Chinese Central Asia.
