Carved in high relief, a semi-nude male sits in right profile, wearing a himation draped around his thighs and pulled over his left shoulder. He sits on a four-legged stool with turned legs, only the front right preserved. His chest is finely modeled to indicate mature age. Originally from a relief naiskos.
