Relief of a male nude god, perhaps Bacchus. His right arm is raised; the forearm is resting on top of his head. His hair is comprised of multiple horizontal curls away from his face. His left arm rests on a support; his left leg is bent at the knee and crossed over the right. At his feet is a rudimentarily rendered panther.
