An upright man lowering his right upper extremity and—most probably—raising the left. The right hand grasps the lower end of what seems to be a torch positioned obliquely across the trunk. The torchbearer is dressed in a knee-length loincloth, the upper hem of which is embroidered with short fringes and tied in the middle, forming two vertical folds. A cloak made of thick fabric forms several semicircular folds in front of the upper chest. An extension of this garment seems to be wrapped around the right elbow. Seen around the neck is a smooth torque furnished with a pendant at the level of the sternal notch.
Missing are the head, most of the neck, the left upper extremity, the left side of the torso, both lower extremities from the knees down, the pedestal, and the shaft of the torch.
