| Title: | Relief Fragment from Base of Colossal Figure | |
| Category: | Sculpture | |
| Description: | Broken all around and behind. On the front, in relief, the trunk of an olive tree with leaves beginning to show at the top of the fragment as preserved. To the right something rises from the background: probably a branch or second trunk of the same tree. Up the better preserved trunk climbs a snake, at the preserved top his thin neck. Most of the surface of the background and of the snake was finished with the drove; the tree trunk was roughened with a point. The fragment appears to come from the intermediate block of one of the original pedestals of the Odeion colossal figures. Pentelic marble. | |
| Context: | From a marble pile to the west of the middle of the Odeion. Traces of mortar show that it had been built into the foundation of the Gymnasium Complex. | |
