A shoulder-length image of Christ with his head slightly tilted forward, with high forehead, deep-set eyes, thin nose with hump, compressed lips, and small, slightly bifid beard. On his head is a small, tightly fitting cap, from under which long (shoulder-length) strands of hair fall onto his bare neck. Christ is wearing a chiton fastened on the chest with a clasp.
