A solid cast bronze statuette of a standing nude male. The helmeted and bearded man stands at rest with his weight on his right leg. His left arm is bent and his left hand clutched around a missing object as indicated by the hole drilled through it. He raises his right arm in front of him and to his right; the wrist and hand are missing. Genitalia are indicated by an ill-defined bulge and the musculature is only very lightly modeled. The helmet fits tight around the head and has a neck guard. Two gashes appear on the outward side of the left leg.
