Note

This statue is made of bronze. Likely, in the year 79 CE, the object underwent conservation efforts. The right eye contained a filling of glass paste, inserted upside down, with the original marble eyes discovered discarded inside of the statue. The right arm is bent and was found detached from the figure, holding a bronze double-volute tendril in his outstretched hand. The statue does not include the tendril in its current form. It is currently housed at Naples National Archaeological Museum, Italy.
