The face is square-cut, and the strongly-marked features indicate a man in the prime of life.

The mouth, wide and thin- lipped, rises slightly towards the corners, which are lost in the projecting muscles by which it is framed in.

The cheeks are bony and lank; the ears are thick and heavy, and stand out well from the head; the thick, coarse hair is cut close above the brow.

The eyes, which are large and well open, owe their lifelike vivacity to an ingenious contrivance of the ancient artist.

The orbit has been cut out from the stone, the hollow being filled with an eye composed of enamel, white and black.
