Description
Full-length figure striding forward with the right foot; the left raised on a stone and about to follow the right. His left arm is laid across the body with hand extended; his right is uplifted, grasping a weapon (which he is now missing), and about to strike a blow. His face wears an expression of tension; he gazes fixedly before him. Thick hair covers his head, leaving the ear exposed.
