Description
Hypnotic, even seductive, this helmeted figure has the power to focus all eyes on himself. He makes strong, dramatic gestures and his wide gaze suggests that the tale he tells is full of magic, mystery and danger. Looking at him in his splendid many-colored costume, we do not doubt that these are adventures which he has personally experienced--he seems to have travelled to the very edge of the known world and returned to tell us what it was like. - (PF.0993)
