Description

A statue of a standing man on a white plinth against a plain grey backdrop. He wears a cap with curls at the forehead, a curled beard, and a long garment with a horizontal band at the waist, falling to the calves. One arm bends up at the side, the other hand rests at the chest, and tied shoes stand on the base, with cracks and chips.
