Gold statuette of Zeus Serapis
A small gold statuette shows a standing, bearded male figure wearing a modius on his head and a draped garment that falls to his feet. His right arm is raised, holding a cornucopia, while his left arm hangs at his side. The cast is smooth and slightly worn, set against a plain gray backdrop.
Look closer: The cornucopia extends out to the right edge of the figure, nearly merging with the arm.
