Description | The disproportionately large head has thick wavy hair, a full bushy beard and a moustache. Corrosion obscures much of the detail on the up-turned face, but a long triangular nose and deep-set eyes can be discerned. The legs, arms and hands are pressed closely together, with the elbows resting on the knees. The rope or chain which encircled and linked the neck, wrists and ankles is largely destroyed or obscured by corrosion, but it can be discerned at the wrists, wher it binds the clasped hands in front of the chin (Jackson). |
