Description
The head of this warrior is very damaged. Of the completely broken helmet, only the chinstrap remains, passing under the chin. He is an elderly warrior with wrinkled eyes and a moustache. The face bears the mark of Western influence. The expression of the gaze, carried upwards under frowning eyebrows, is melancholic and affected.
