This delightful statue shows the god, standing naked save for a flowing cloak behind, his wings outstretched. His well-modelled face gazes downwards, a substantial floral wreath on his head. In his left hand, held bent to his side, he cradles a pair of crotales. His right hand is lowered to his side, clasping his cloak. There are remains of pigment visible, especially on one of the crotales. The rear with a rectangular firing hole.
