Stone full length sculpture of a Medieval King. The king stands straight facing forwards. He has long wig like hair and a long elegantly curled beard, and looks forward with a neutral expression and mouth slightly open. He wears a tall decorated crown and his left hand holds the remnants of an orb. His right hand holds a long shaft of possibly a broken sceptre. The king wears elaborate drapery. The sculpture is set on a stone base inside a large window alcove, with arched windows visible behind the sculpture.
