The sculpture, set on a pedestal, depicts an incomplete male head, as well as a fragment of the neck. The head is chipped off at a slant, so the right eye is missing. However, the classic, harmoniously cut nose and mouth, frozen in a slight smile, characteristic of Mitoraj's works, have been preserved.

The centurion of the title is a centurion, or centurion, which in ancient Rome was a lower officer, commander of a centuria, the smallest tactical unit of a legion, consisting of one hundred soldiers. Overwhelmingly, centurions were made up of the most experienced and distinguished soldiers, as it was they who bore the main responsibility for the course of the battle.

"Centurion" by Igor Mitoraj was wounded in battle, but nevertheless remains beautiful and intriguing. In line with the artist's idea that true beauty lies in our imperfections and wounds suffered, rather than in a perfect, flawless ideal.
