The Museum of the Therms has also a marble statue of a cross-legged torchbearer (H. 0.58) in Eastern attire, cross-legged (Inv. No. 283). Head and feet are lost. Broken torch in his upraised hand. It certainly comes from Rome, but we do not know where it has been found. It may be the companion piece of the preceding No., although it is somewhat larger.
