[1] The statue is about 207[2] or 208 cm[1] in height, and made of white marble that was probably sourced from the quarries of Thasos, an island in the northern Aegean Sea.

[2] The youthful god is depicted naked, his head slightly inclined to his right, his hair combed in short curls.

The conjoining points were sealed with either gypsum or polyester resin, while cracks were covered with acrylic paint of similar colour with the rest of the marble.

[3] Α sedimentary crust of varying thickness had formed on the sculpture, especially on the anterior side (which was facing down in the soil).

[3] The crust was removed and the statue was restored with a method of light amplification by stimulated radiation emission (laser), a process that took place on the island of Crete and lasted from February until March 2001.
