Made from a pale material, likely marble, it has a smooth, polished appearance with natural coloration or veining. The man faces to the side with a slightly tilted upward head, showcasing a rounded head, a notable nose, and a contemplative expression. The clothing features detailed folds and textures, including a high collar that surrounds the neck and shoulders, highlighting the formal and solemn demeanor of the figure.
