On a base the lower part of a Gigant with snake-feet. He is dressed in a short tunic and leans against a rock. On his l. arm traces of a shield. Bust, head and arms lost (See fig. 142).
Even if only a few fragments remain, it is very likely that the main niche of the Mitreo di Santa Prisca contained the usual representation of Mithras killing the bull.
