The figure stands upright as a bishop: mitre on his head, red cope lined with blue over a white alb, stole crossed on the chest. The left hand is drawn against the body and the right arm is missing at the wrist. He stands on a moulded hexagonal base highlighted with gold. The red, blue and off-white polychromy is well preserved.
