Present location: Naval Museum, Capo Colonna.

Description: This artifact, similar in shape but slightly smaller than STP 1 and STP 4, is
semi-finished. The general shape of the statue’s pedestal has been completed, but its
surface has not been polished and bears clear marks of a pointed chisel. The base shows
heavy signs of marine erosion, while the rest of the pedestal is well preserved. Its base and
top are rectangular, and the body is almost square in section. A smooth band is present at
the top, but not at the base.
