The emperor is depicted with his signature curly hair and full beard, rendered in high relief with remarkable attention to detail. His expressive features reflect strength and authority, with deep-set eyes and a stern gaze.
He is shown draped in a marble-rendered robe and adorned with an intricately carved chest plate, symbolizing his military prowess and imperial stature. The use of variegated marbles emphasizes the textures and tones of his garments and flesh, creating a lifelike and dynamic appearance.

Perfect as a museum-quality decorative object or a significant piece for classical art collectors, this sculpture captures both the grandeur of Roman imperial iconography and the skill of traditional stone carving.
