The River God, Okeanos, is at rest, wearing a himation that covers his body from the waist down, reclining on the base depicting a small undulating river. His hair and beard aimed to give the impression of moss due to the characteristic of the River God. The jug on which he rests his left arm drains the water of the river he dominates. He brings abundance to the river and to the villagers living in the surrounding villages who make a living by fishing.
