The effigy of the Roman emperor is carved in high relief, almost frontally, with the face turned slightly three-quarters to the left. Laurel wreath on the head and bust draped with chlamys and armor. Work carried out with marked engravings that well highlight the anatomical volumes of the character, inspired by an ancient model. Fine condition.
