The body mounts come to an end in the form of a pedestal that resembles an altar, adorned with a pomegranate-shaped corona. On either side, two curved fingers form hooks for securing the straps of the vehicle body. At the front, a statue of Silvanus, the youthful god of nature and fertility, stands proudly, his head crowned with a wreath of leaves. Clad in a shoulder cape, he holds a vine knife firmly in his right hand. Originally, his eyes were made from a different material altogether. The entire piece measures 10.6 cm in height and 12.7 cm in width, dating back to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
