    Sardis?
    Bulunduğu Yeri
    According to O.A. Taşyürek, Director, Adana Regional Museum, alleged by the dealer to have come from Sardis.
    Tanım

    The figure wears a girt tunic with a chlamys fastened over the r. shoulder and falling down to his feet in back. There is a circular pillar at the l. leg. He holds a caduceus with the lowered l. hand. On the front of the base there is a Greek inscription of four lines:

    I do not know of any dedications to Hosion kai Dikaion found at Sardis, but they are very common in the region farther S around Kula (cf. Cat. 265 Fig. 455; also Robert, Nouvelles Inscriptions, 35, and his treatment of the cult). The provenance from Sardis, therefore, seems doubtful. The rustic style, too, is more like that of eastern Lydia.

    Condition
    Marble. Head missing. Lower r. arm lost (was dowelled on).
    Boyutlar
    H. 0.59. Base: H. 0.12; W. 0.245.
    Yorum
    This piece is from another site in Lydia, but in the past, it has been mistakenly attributed to Sardis.
