This terracotta bust titled *A Knight of Santiago* by Francesco Segala, an Italian sculptor of the late 16th century, depicts a knight in realistic detail. The life-sized bust features a strong, imposing figure with a thick beard, looking slightly off to the left. The knight wears a chain with a decorative pendant and a garment that is visible around the neck, creating a sense of realism. The piece is a prime example of Segala's skillful execution of terracotta sculptures.
