Tanım

Near top of drum, in two lines, are the words ΦΥΛΗΣ ΤΜΩΛΙΔΟΣ. Below the inscription is a sculptured relief of the river god, Tmolus, reclining on a rocky projection representing the mountain. He is naked except for a corner of drapery falling over his r. thigh; three other folds of the cloth are draped over the rock. He reclines on his l. arm, his r. leg is bent up at the knee, and the l. foot is tucked under the r. one. The proportions of the god are stocky; his legs seem too small for the broad torso.

Modeling is careful, although not excellent. The fine letters of the inscription indicate a Hellenistic date.

Condition

Marble.

Head and l. arm of Tmolus missing, also r. arm below elbow. The tree against which he leans also missing except part of trunk and a few leaves. Anathyrosis on bottom of drum partly chipped. Top surface has dowel hole 0.06 W. and a channel.

Boyutlar
H. of drum 0.88; diam. 0.615; H. of letters 0.03; total H. of relief 0.54; W. of relief 0.41.
