Sees on the left arm, squalid, folded with open hand through the hair also covering his face. In the lower half, the hand is open, across almost the entire width of the support; the thumb is up and the other four fingers are almost horizontally stretched, looking up at the bottom on the right wrist support. On hand to see light red accents.
