| Description: | Overlapping the figure’s leg and the left edge of the mantle is part of a staff with the weathered and broken remains of a snake twined around it. Scarring indicates where its head rested on the edge of the mantle. One diagonal fold across the left leg survives, along with the left edge of the mantle folded back over itself, which has created deep vertical folds in high relief against the background. The surface, throughout, preserves traces of rasp work. Asklepios? | |
| Condition: | Fragment. Broken all around, this fragment preserves part of a draped left leg from midthigh to just below the knee. | |
