Description
A figure of Moses set on a quadrilateral base. The figure is depicted in slight contrapposto, with the left leg slightly bent at the knee, holding the tablet of the Ten Commandments with his hands and resting it on his left shoulder. The face is surrounded by a long grey beard, with horns growing out from under the hair, now filed down. The garment is made up of an emerald-coloured undershirt and a gold-coloured folded cloak with a red lining thrown over her left hip. Underneath the side gown, bare feet visible.
