Leaning on his spear, he is sitting near his shield. This forms the dial of this Empire period gilt bronze clock resting on zoomorphic feet formed by owls and snakes. On the base, the attributes of the goddess Minerva.
This model is very close to the model kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
