DescriptionVotive statuette depicting a draped youth. He is standing well balanced on both feet. He wears a tunic and a wide mantel wrapped around the body and fold on his left shoulder which fully covers his arms, both the left one, straight along the body, and the right one, bent on his chest and holding the mantle itself. His longish hair is bound by a fillet. His body has a rectangular shape and a thin width, being its traits reduced at the essentials. Tangs under the feet. Green patina, with some corrosion.
