He is depicted wearing a short sleeved, sideless surcote worn over a cotehardie which is long sleeved, with nine large round buttons from the neckline to below the waist fastening the surcote. The surcote is voluminous and hangs in wide drapes from the chest. He is holding a staff, or similar in the right hand which is slightly raised.
