content: View (as though from ground level) of the right side of a male nude (Triton) figure (statue) with right arm upraised to support a large horn; the Triton's left hand grasps the tails of two entwined dolphins, which support him; the Triton's head is partly obscured by his right shouler. The sculpture group is on a rectangular base, which in turn, is placed above a fountain basin, which is on a pedestal. There is a drawing on the verso, top: a fragment of an ornamental design, with inscriptions and notations.
