Chest and r. shoulder are left bare. The musculature on upper arm and chest is ample. His cloak falls in vertical folds over l. shoulder, and in soft asymmetrical arc across front; it is held under the r. armpit and then falls in a vertical fold by the r. arm. In back is a thick fold from l. shoulder to r. armpit. The workmanship is careful and gives a precise, if somewhat hardened and mechanical effect. Chisel and abrasive marks are evident; drill marks are obliterated. In the neck is a drill hole for a dowel (diam. 0.007) to fasten the head.

The type is like Asklepios and also Hellenistic citizens, but the lower part of the body is peculiarly slender. The small size and delicate proportions suggest that this may have been a house statuette in a domestic shrine.
