Pale stone sculpture of a Medieval King. The King wears a high crown with heavy wig-like hair, a long, pointed beard and simple draped clothing. He holds a shaft possibly of a broken sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left. He stands on a dark stone base, with a tall gothic style stone archway behind him. The sculpture is backlit by two spotlights placed on the floor either side of the base. The sculpture is darkened in places.
