Statuette of a small, balding, old man with turgid face standing on a low, circular base. He wears a long, belted cloak that leaves his left shoulder free. He rests his large head on his right shoulder. A piece of cloth which is knotted together to form a bag hangs from his right forearm. It probably contains his few belongings.

Rim of base slightly worn, surface partially slightly abraded, otherwise intact.
