Description
Ca. 1st-2nd Century AD.
A fragmentary Roman marble statue, depicting the buttocks and legs of a male youth.

The posture of both legs suggests that the original figure would have been moving or walking. The nudity points to an athletic or even divine context for the figure. For a similar example, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 13.229.1.
