Limestone male figurine (GR.239.1888) with mantle and inscription found in Amargetti Cyprus, dating from 300 B.C. — 201 B.C. The statue is schematically-carved with an important dedicatory inscription engraved at the back referring to a dedication on behalf of […] to Opaon Melanthios, a god of the shepherds. This god is often identified with the god Pan, who had a sanctuary at Amargetti in the Paphos District of Cyprus, where this statue was found.
