How about Nephi holding Laban's sword in his left hand and with Laban's severed head held in his out stretched right arm? And of course with dripping blood and all.

Sounds like a candidate for one of those "images of the restoration" illustrations, although it would be best as one of those muscular Arnold Friberg paintings in the Book of Mormon.
