Descripción
This statue was found in the area of the Olympian Zeus temple, in 1888. The youth would have held some object in his raised right arm. According to one view, the statue renders the "Splachnoptes" by the Cypriot sculptor Styppax, a bronze statue of the 3rd quarter of the 5th century B.C. According to Plinius, that statue depicted a young boy ready to spit-roast the entrails for the sacrifice, simultaneously, blowing to light the fire.
