MARBLE PEDESTAL WITH A PAIR OF HUMAN FEET AND REPRESENTATION OF A RAM, 27х20х6,5 cm dimensions, inv.no. 995/R

Fragmented sculptural group with preserved rectangular pedestal on which the left foot and right leg of the male figure can be observed which, with right side of the body, are leaning against a tree (column?) next to which is presented fragmented figure of a ram. The ram is presented with its head raised towards the male figure, with very minutiously shaped horns, unlike other details on its head. Considering the fact that analogy with statuary groups of Mercury and ram is obvious, one can assume that this is also representation of the god Mercury with one of his animal followers – a ram.
