The image shows a close-up of a male figure's upper body, only displaying his shoulders and above. He is holding a wooden staff or trident in his right hand. The man's head is turned to his left, revealing his profile and a stern expression with deep-set eyes gazing into the distance. His facial features are rugged, with a prominent brow and pronounced cheekbones, complemented by a thick, curly beard and equally curly hair. The hair is depicted in waves. His skin is carved to highlight the muscles and expression on his face. The background is a textured, gradient tone that shades from darker on the top to lighter at the bottom. No visible jewelry is present.
