Moment of Truth/Friend or Foe (full view, left)

Here is a full view of the left side. Moment of Truth, Friend or Foe. Alabaster, about two feet high. I'm optimistic; I don't think the warrior will panic and lose his grip.
Added:
The initial idea came from the client, but of course it grew as the dragon and prince began to form out of the stone. The warrior prince climbs a high mountain to reach a special treasure, but when he pulls himself to the top of the last peak and thinks he's now within reach of safety and treasure, he comes eye-to-eye with the guardian dragon.

So the question is, exhausted, clinging precariously to the edge of a drop into a deep chasm, faced with overwhelming superiority in strength, speed, and perhaps wisdom, what will he do? What will the dragon do?

In my gallery I have some photos of this piece from other angles.
