The statuette depicts a man seated on a folding stool holding a musical instrument with his outstretched hands. The figure representing a player, a motif attested in the art of situlae, due to the shape of the elongated bust and the bent legs is comparable to a small bronze found in the sanctuary of Fornace in Altino. According to recent opinions, the hollow support on which the piece rests could be the crowning glory of a piece of furniture or a prestigious piece of furniture, if not perhaps a sign of rank and prestige.
