Circular, concave discus has figural relief and flat framing bands suggest channel and panel format on shoulder. Relief depicts a nude male (heroic or divine?) standing in counterpoise three-quarters left with chlamys tied in bow around neck and hanging in folds over left shoulder; left arm holds long staff at angle and right arm is outstretched from elbow; hanging chlamys partly covers large round object (shield?). A heroic or divine scene, or a mythological vignette?
