Male Figure, so-called Crusader
(Ancient Near East )
This male figure wears elaborately decorated clothing, with silver and gold wires creating patterns on his tunic and trousers. He also has a thick belt and holds a round object in one hand, which is possibly the handle of a dagger. He has a long beard and a long, horizontal mustache. A figure like this might have decorated a home or a religious location.
