Fragmentary mold of the head and torso of a youth, one of the Dioskouroi, holding a strigil (scraping tool) in his upraised right hand. A himation covers his shoulders and is draped over his left arm. He is beardless and a fillet encircles his head. In his left hand he holds a phiale (libation bowl). He stands within a small naiskos (roofed open shrine). The missing half of the mold likely contained the second Divine Twin, also standing with a strigil within the naiskos.
