The statuette represented in the accompanying photograph is about 37·6 cm. in height. The left leg is broken off above the knee, and supported on a prop which forms part of the base. The right leg is only roughly chiselled at the back, which suggests that the front side alone was visible in the position in which the statuette was originally placed. The nature of the object on the right shoulder is uncertain. The upper portion is like a kind of boss, and the lower front portion resembles an animal's claw. It has been suggested that it represents a pedum; but the angle at which the missing portion (if there has been a fracture, which is not certain) would project puts some difficulty in the way of this hypothesis. If, however, the object on the shoulder was part of an animal's skin extended across the breast, all traces of that have disappeared; though in a spot over the right ribs the marble has been shaved away to a flat surface, against which some object may have rested. There are three similar shaved spots in other parts of the body: behind each shoulder-blade and on the nates, and these may well indicate the places at which the statuette touched a wall. The position of the shaved spots behind the shoulder-blades does not suggest that they were the starting-points of wings. A small portion of lead piping is inserted under the left arm in the back of the mask—apparently a Comic one—carried in the left hand. The marble is of a rough crystalline character, probably Parian or Naxian. In the absence of the head and of all certain attributes it is difficult to say whether the statuette represents an Eros or a Satyr.
