Standing Warrior Holding a Sword
This figure represents a man as a warrior, based on his clothing, helmet, and the sword he carries. It resembles objects from medieval Iran and appears to be made of painted plaster. There are traces of blue paint on his garment, which was decorated with gold bands at the neck, on the arms, and on his thin belt.
