The man is dressed in a tight cloak and a wreath, the leaves of which cannot be identified. In his right hand he carries a branch, and presumably he had a small animal in his left. His face is dominated by large almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose and a slightly smiling mouth. Traces of red paint on dress and lips.
