Not on view

The plinth is broken on one side. It preserves two fragmentary bodies of snakes, one of which has zigzag scales. A sandaled foot stands on one of the tails and the right hand of the figure cuts the other tail with a sickle (harpe). The foot of a second figure stands on the end of the plinth.
