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 and missing, with wavy shoulder-length hair and a long beard. He wears floor-length draped clothing and a cloak around his shoulders. He holds a shaft possibly of a broken sceptre in his right hand and a royal orb in his left. The sculpture stands on a dark stone base, with plain stonework behind. The detail of the sculpture is eroded in places.
