Description
Content (description)
A male stands with his left arm by his side, his right arm raised, originally resting on a spear. He wears high boots, a cuirass over a tunic, a cloak round his back and over each arm and a helmet with a tall plume supported on a recumbent sphinx. The cuirass is ornate, with a Medusa head at the neck, and on the chest heraldic griffin-like creatures on a floral scroll. There is a tree trunk by his right leg.
