Statue of Apollo 40m south of West Half House

MATERIALS: Portland stone.

PLAN: square pedestal set on a plinth with statue above.

DESCRIPTION: the god is portrayed as a young man with thick hair and a cloak tied by a brooch on his left shoulder to which his right arm is reaching. He stands by a tree stump from which two branches of leaves protrude and on which one end of his cloak lies, the other covering his groin. His left hand rests on his strung bow and the dead python lies between his feet. The rear of the statue lacks relief, suggesting that it was to be viewed from the front only, although two pin holes may have attached carved folded drapery to the rear.

The statue is placed on a pedestal comprising a plinth with a fascia and moulded torus, a die with fielded panels to all sides and a cap with cymatium, torus and cavetto moulding.
