Summary
Red sandstone relief of ?Neptune, a crowned god with trident, a dolphin curling about his right leg; copy of a classical piece?; in form of a narrow stele, possibly an architectural fragment. Chipped at top and bottom; surface under attack from climate, flaking on legs; detail fairly good at present, except face; little or no lichen; may be better under cover as the piece is part-hidden by shrubs. Conservation: Cliveden Conservation Workshop, 1992.
