Portrait head of a young man with wavy hair combed forward. A short curly beard frames his oval face. He has deep set eyes, the pupils and irises incised, that gaze up to his left. The surface of the skin is highly polished. There has been some damage to the head, most noticable in the missing nose. The features are similar in style to portraits of Emperor Gallienus.
