Torso of a Standing Man

The workmanship is crude, the back hardly modeled. The head and neck are broken away, as are the right arm from the area above the elbow and the lower areas of the drapery, as well as the plinth.

The man wears his cloak over the left shoulder; the right hand appears to hold the edge of his cloak as it falls down along his right side. The left leg is preserved almost to the left foot, and it shows the weight was on the right leg. The object held in the left hand, in front of the folds of the cloak, may be a bird, in which case this could be a small statue of Asklepios or a person making an offering to the god of medicine. Perhaps this is a statue of Hippocrates.

The bird ought to be a cock or rooster, since pet birds are generally held by children in Attic funerary sculpture (as in the stele of Melisto, about 340 B.C., no. 24, above), but the surfaces are too worn to say with confidence here. When Asklepios himself is accompanied by a cock, the bird is usually being offered to him by an attendant (or Gallus, making a sacrifice), as in the Juturna precinct near the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum (Boni, 1901, pp. 114-117, fig. 75). These representations are usually connected with statues in which Asklepios holds a rotulus or scroll in one hand, which could conceivably be the case here if the god rather than Hippocrates or a votary were represented.
