A dark brown bronze sculpture depicts a figure standing on a rectangular base, his body wrapped in a tight garment. Patches of green oxidation mottle the dark metal surface. His hands emerge from the shroud to grip a long, slender scepter. He wears a wide, layered collar and a long, braided beard. His head is smooth, looking forward with large eyes and a closed mouth.
