The naked, well-muscled youth is leaning on a notched staff under his armpit, holding one leg up behind, his head turned back. The scene is surrounded with a hatched border. For an archaic gem with youth leaning on a staff with one foot raised, cf. J. Boardman, Archaic Gems, London, 1968, p. 104, no. 303, pl. XX, and for another with youth leaning on a similar notched staff, cf. op. cit. p. 107, no. 317, pl. XXII.
