Description	His feet, legs, arms and hands are clenched, with his elbows resting on his thighs. The torso is stylised, particularly the back, which, in order to accommodate a vertical perforation and avoid it passing through the figure's head, is set unnaturally far back, but the limbs and head are realistically and naturalistically portrayed. The head is especially carefully modelled and is very distinctive. The hair, brushed back, is thick and long but recedes from the temples; the ears are large; the forehead prominent and lightly bulbous; the eyes deep-set with marked brows; the nose long with bulbous nostrils; the lips full, and the cheeks especially plump and 'jowly'. The hands are more simple depicted, though the thumbs (now chipped) are rendered and there are incised finger divisions. The rope encircles the neck, links to the bound wrists and snakes down towards the missing ankles. It is carefully depicted with the twist visible in most places (Jackson).
