| Description: |
The bearded god stands in contrapposto, his left leg slightly forward. His right arm hangs at his side, the hand holding a patera (offering bowl). His half-raised left hand holds a bud on a long branch. His cloak falls gracefully, and a band is draped across his left shoulder, over his chest, continuing under his right arm and down his back, its end cascading elegantly behind him. His head is tilted to the right, his gaze directed towards the patera.
