The fragmentary bronze at the feet reproduces a syringe player in a frontal position, shirtless, with a flared skirt girded at the waist by a double cord and decorated with lozenge motifs and a close-fitting cap. The figurine is one of the first expressions of paleo-Venetian votive plastic, peculiar to this cultural sphere and therefore unrelated to the small Greek, Etruscan and Italic bronzes.
