A male figure is seated with his legs out before him, r. leg bent at the knee, and his hands behind his back. To the r., a short distance from the man, are traces of a cuirassed Roman; and to the l. is a shallow relief of a ribbon-like object with three points. The man seems to have had long hair in the barbarian manner; pose and type show him to be a captive.

This is the only Sardis fragment to show official Roman Imperial iconography. Its battered state precludes precise dating, but treatment seems crude: note especially the clearly visible claw chisel marks on the background surface and the roughly carved “ribbon.”

White marble.

Only bottom edge surface preserved intact. Relief surface badly damaged.
