On his left arm is his shield. His right arm is extended outward holding a spear ready to be thrown. Cuculain wears a bronze crown over his black hair which is flying in the wind. Over his shoulders is a red cape, also flying in the wind. He wears a metallic breast plate. Near his right side is a stancheon holding an axe, and two swords.
