Although the orignal is now lost, the pose can be reconstructed from depictions on engraved gems of the Roman period. The god originally held a scepter in his raised left hand, which is abbreviated in the present example by having the left shoulder raised. The Ptolemaic eagle, which the gems show to have adorned the pediment.
