is fastened with a conical brooch. The right arm is broken (ancient damage) at the<br />

level of the chest below the armpit. The left arm is carrying the fold of chlamys<br />

but is broken (not obviously ancient damage) below the elbow. The protruding<br />

figure scar of the object (a garl<strong>and</strong>?) he used to hold in his left h<strong>and</strong> is visible on<br />

the column base at his left. A baldric runs across the body from the right shoulder<br />
