Fragment of a Wall Decoration from the Palace of Xerxes: "Guardsman" in Procession
The image shows a stone carving of a man's head and shoulders. The carving is on a rectangular stone slab with rough edges, grayish-brown in color. The man has a beard made up of many small curls. His hair is styled in a series of vertical lines on top of his head, with two curved sections on either side of his head. He appears to be wearing a collared garment. The background of the image is a plain grey color, with a shadow cast by the stone slab.
