Bust of a Male notable posing as a condottiero, as evinced by the draping of the mantle, which is reminiscent of the paludamentum, the cloak of Roman military commanders including the Emperors, as well as by the pteryx (fringed leather) at the uncovered right-hand armhole; the paludamentum and pteryges were adopted and widely used as symbols of military might from Roman antiquity onwards.
