Description	The seemingly complete figure is seated or crouched, with drawn-up haunches and apparently hunched shoulders. The disproportionately large head has voluminous mane-like hair, which merges with a full, bushy beard and a long drooping moustache. The nose is prominent, while the parted lips and sloping eyes impart a distinctly mournful expression. A rope or chain encircles the neck and the wrists, which are clasped together under the chin. The rope descends in front of the shins to encircle (or link with a shackle on) the bare feet at the ankles (Jackson).
