The hero is standing, with his body slightly out of three quarters, in a slight torsion, his head facing left. The body is naked.

The anatomical details are engraved with technical skill. Use of globular elements. Late Italic period - early Republican. Very fine style. Attractive stone color. Wear marks. Parallel: C. Gasparri, Le Gemme Farnese, p. 122 n. 183.
