The image shows an elderly man from the waist up, standing in a basin. He has a lined face, strong jaw, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, full beard, and curly hair. The man's musculature is well-defined, especially his arms and torso. He is wearing a cloth around his hips. The basin has a lion's face with a ring in its mouth on the front. The background is a textured archway made of stone blocks.
