This statue is currently a collection of the Museum of Ṭarṭūs. It was, however, briefly on display in the Museum of Damascus during the 1969 Exhibition of Classical Artifacts. The god stands naked, holding bunches of grapes with his left hand, with his long garment hanging at his left shoulder and elbow. The head is missing, and the right upper extremity is amputated just above the corresponding elbow. The right knee is slightly bent, and the feet are unshod.
Provenance: ʿAzār Cemetery (between Ṭarṭūs and ʿAmrīt).
Material: marble.
Dimensions: ?
