Description | It is hollow-cast and there is an ancient break at the top of the neck. The head is crowned with a prominent laurel wreath tied low at the back of the head. The features are quite fine, although rather worn; the eyes are oval, the nose delicate, and the mouth slightly open. A moustache curls down to join the full beard which has prominent curls. The back of the head is smooth (PAS). |
