Description

A standing male figure in limestone, with one arm bent and raised beside the head and the other arm extended forward with a clenched hand. The head wears a close-fitting cap, and the chest and torso are modelled in relief. The figure stands on a thin rectangular base set on a square block pedestal, and strong side lighting casts a shadow on the wall behind.
