The hair is curled, the face is oval with eyebrows and eyes in relief, the nose is thin, and its root is located between the eyebrows, the mouth is small and barely visible. The figure has a thick curly beard with two pointy ends. The neck is preserved. The head is mounted in a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
