- 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.
