The Gundistrip Cauldron

i keep thinking back to this plate on the the gundistrip cauldron. One thing i can't tell from the image, is the warrior scared r to be dunked? Or is the warrior excited, like he's going in head first? I think a certain amount of fear is his ideal. But then again, if the interpretation is right, this warrior is about to maybe be transformed into a higher state of existenceh maybe. So, maybe. We will be back in another episode on caldrons. Will also get into at least a little bit of dante's inferno.
