Description	relaxed posture - standing with the weight on his right leg and with his left leg slightly advanced. Both arms were lowered . . . Long, flowing locks are gathered up loosely into a quatrefoil bun at the nape of the neck; from this bun strands escape, dangling over the shoulders. One vine leaf, evidently protruding from the bun and perhaps one of a pair, is visible behind the god's left ear (Hutchinson).
