Triton

Part of a figured frieze with continuous scenes, of which only the left one depicting a triton remains. A portion of the right one is still discernible, showing originally the same subject. The base consists of a plain band. The preserved scene is encased between two dividing elements in the shape of framed pilasters with Corinthian capitals and a short flute on the shaft. A tenon is preserved on the proper right of the top face. The triton is represented frontal, winged, and with two snake-twisting tails. The right hand holds a mace resting on his shoulders, while the left one bears an indistinct object. The head is missing, but a portion of the jaw is still discernible and was probably bearded. He wears a loincloth.
