Shami statue

The character is dressed in Parthian elite clothing, with a commanding posture—appropriate for a high-ranking figure. The hairstyle and clothing resemble those of Parthian horsemen. He is dressed in a long-sleeved coat with a V-neck tunic, and wide, long trousers with a narrow waistband—garments characteristic of Parthian attire. The style of the beard is also typical of Parthian nobility.^[7]

The statue is 1.94 m (6 ft 4 in) high. The man depicted is shown frontally. He bears a short beard and a heavy moustache, while his hair is long and covers the ears. Around the head he wears a wide ribbon.^{[citation needed]}

The left hand and the entire right arm are missing. However, a bronze arm was later found in Shami, believed to belong to the statue. It is possible that the head and the body of the statue were crafted separately and put together in Shami, as the head is too small and made from a different type of bronze as to the rest of the statue.^{[citation needed]}
