    Tanım

    The reclining river god has long hair, and is nude. His l. leg is tucked under the bent r. one. In his r. hand he holds a reed, and two other vertical reeds are incised into the background at the upper l. At the r. is a plane tree in shallow relief. The river god leans on his l. arm, and rests on a ledge (H. 0.12).

    The pose and attributes are standard for a river god; modeling has been attempted, but is not highly refined. The carving of the tree show Hellenistic influence.

    Condition

    Coarse white marble.

    Lower r. corner of rectangular slab broken away. Top and r. edges preserve raised ledge near front surface, carefully chiseled for fitting into architectural frame. Figure’s l. arm missing below shoulder. Surface damage to face and limbs.

    Boyutlar
    H. 0.53; W. at top 0.558, at center 0.58; Th. at top 0.09, at bottom 0.15; W. of projecting ledge at top 0.28, at r. 0.10.
