Description
Imposing standing character, facing left, with his right hand folded over his chest and his left arm extended along his side, who had to hold a weapon or rank attribute. Round eyes and ajar mouth. He wears a sort of high tiara painted in black on his head. He wears a long white tunic that goes down to his feet and an outer jacket with a V-neck and huge flared sleeves; the hems are finished with precious pigments (azurite and malachite). The torso is protected by armor that descends to cover the abdomen. The lower edge of the armor was originally covered in gold leaf, much of it peeling.
