Among the antiquities coming up for sale at Gorny & Mosch in Munich on July 9 is this marble figure of a river god, carved in the first century, during the Roman imperial period.
The 11in (27cm) long statue depicts the reclining, bearded figure on a base carved with stylised waves, in his right hand he is holding a fish, his left arm rests on an amphora. As this has been drilled through, it is safe to assume that the figure was originally used as part of a fountain.
