A Leg and a Pig's Head

The person's facial features include a solemn expression with deep-set eyes and a beard. They have a hood over their head, with their hair not visible beneath it. The person is wearing a robe, typical of monastic attire, which covers their shoulders and chest. In their right hand, they hold a closed book, and their left hand is raised, fingers extended in a gesture.
