The young god is facing right. He is characterized by thick and long hair that partially covers the neck. A small lyre appears behind the bust, as an allegory of the arts, poetry and music. Fine work well engraved. Subject inspired by french neoclassical models. Attractive color of the stone. Wear marks on the seal.
