Pale stone full body sculpture of a Medieval King. The King is a middle-aged white man who wears a high crown, which is partially broken, with wavy shoulder-length hair and a long beard. He wears floor-length draped clothing and a long cloak around his shoulders fastened with a long tassel. He holds the upper part of a broken staff or sceptre in his right hand and his left arm is missing. The sculpture stands on a dark stone base, with plain stonework behind. The detail of the sculpture has eroded considerably, with the facial features almost totally eroded.
