Xerxes I (4)

I added more flowing drapery to the robe. I used, as reference, a reconstruction from the book Achaemenid Persian Armyy by Duncan Head, Montvert Pub, 1992. This has an illustration showing how the square piece of robe was worn and tied with a belt to fold the excess flaps forward at the thighs. Both flaps are modelled on this revamped figure. I carved away as much of the previous green putty (which was Kneadatite) and replaced this with A&B putty.
