The sculptor of this image has shown considerable skill in portraying faithfully the great king. The maker of this image whatever his nationality may have been, was certainly not inspired with the ideals of Grecian art. The characteristic features of the statue are smart rigidity and strict symmetry. The pose is realistic without attempt at idealisation. It is free-standing and frontal in the most rigorous sense of the word.
