We're on the top of a cliff with soil and flat rock making up the surface until it meets the edge a dozen metres ahead where short grass grows to mark the start of the sheer drop. Beyond the cliff edge there is flat, steel-blue sea to the horizon and the sky above is bright but streaked with hazy veils of cloud. Directly in front of us is a bronze sculpture with signs of weathering from this exposed position high up over the water. The sculpture is that of a bearded man with long cloak and a tight hood drawn up over the head, and a simple band of a crown over the hood to keep it in place. The man stands with legs slightly apart and hands resting on the pommel of a long sword with its tip at the ground. The sculpture has large gashes of material missing allowing us to see through the cloak and even the body of the main to the horizon beyond. The effect is that of a ghostly apparition not quite fully-formed but one standing guard over this place.
