The male character is facing right and characterized by viril features with a barbula: a strong look, straight nose, semi-opened lips and prominent chin. His face is framed by thick hair composed of short locks and long sideburn. He wears a chlamys attached with a fibula on his left shoulder. Probably a portrait of an official of the military elite. Large size. Slight wear marks.
