The dark reddish-black patinated figure of Apollo is likely based on a Hellenistic prototype, with a long slender body, the god depicted nude with his weight on his right leg, his left bent at the knee with the heel lifted, both arms forward and raised, his hair arranged in an elaborate coiffure, center parted, bound in a band, rolled back at the sides, a portion brought up in a prominent top-knot, the remaining gathered in a chignon at the nape of his neck, with single wavy tresses falling onto each shoulder, his youthful face with idealizing features. Both hands clasping now-missing attributes, likely a laurel branch in one, perhaps a snake, kithara or bow in the other.
Boucher, S.; Bronzes Romains Figurés, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. no. 22, for a bust of Apollo with similar hair arrangement.
