| Description | He is dressed in a long helmet, covering the neck at the back. A short cape or bolero is shown on the back with incised cross-hatched decoration, and appears to be crossed over the chest and tucked under the arms. Beneath this is a tunic tied at the waist, with wide folds. The short-sleeved tunic reaches to mid-thigh. The face is somewhat damaged, but the details of the features have been incised; all other detail is cast (Wheeler p310). |
