Stone full length sculpture of a Medieval King. The king stands straight facing forwards. He has long wig like hair and a long bushy beard, though the details of his face have been worn away. His crown and right hand are missing, likely broken off, and there are traces of an orb being held in his left hand. 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.
