Tanım

Although the entire head is missing, a strand of hair is preserved on each shoulder. A piece of drapery is wrapped around the left arm at the elbow. The r. hand probably held a staff, since the bottom of some such object is preserved on the base, and a rough spot on the r. calf may indicated the break where the leg was joined to staff or strut. On the other hand, the object at the r. might have been a tree. The pillar has a rectangular shaft and a simple, flaring molding with plain slanting sides. There is a shallow, round indentation in the top of the pillar.

The nude male figure leaning against a pillar and holding a shepherd’s (?) staff in his hand could be Attis. The large simple chiseled folds are crude, but the body seems to have had quite good, if limited modeling. A date anywhere from the 1st to 3rd C. A.D. seems possible, but 2nd C. is most likely.
