A man appears ready to fight with his mouth open and nostrils flaring, weilding a sword in his right hand and grasping something long-ago lost in his left. He sports a bracelet on each wrist, a low slung belt and a peaked cap. Made from a clay base with a net-like pattern, he was then cast in bronze.
