Description: \'a pleasant little work, classical in style and type, but with a touch of Celtic fire in the wild eyes, flaring hair, and rippling beard' (Toynbee). Figure reclines against a couch with left arm on the armrest and his head resting in his left hand. Right arm raised. Legs bent at knees and left ankle crossed over right. Quite small feet. Drapery across the legs but the genitalia exposed emphasising his role as a fertility god. Drapery has quite thick coarse folds, which are very regular from the knees to the ankles at the front. Torso corroded but the musculature was depicted. Heavily bearded and moustached with long shaggy hair. Back hollow so only to be seen from the front. Figure sits on circular pedestal base.
