This small figurine of Apollo shows the god standing with his head turning slightly as he begins stepping forward with his right leg. He gestures with his outstretched right arm while holding a bow (now missing) in his left. The figurine’s pose and youth are important clues to identifying the god. This stance is reminiscent of the central statue of Apollo on the west pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.
