This relatively well preserved mould-made terracotta statuette of Poseidon comes from a house shrine in Pella. The god is depicted holding a trident in his raised left hand while steadying his foot on a support; both the trident and the support are missing. The statuette was attached to its base with lead or iron pins. It copies a well-known statue of the sea-god Poseidon, now in the Lateran Museum in Rome, the prototype of which is attributed to the celebrated sculptor Lysippos. Poseidon's important place in the Pella pantheon is understood from Pella's coastal location in antiquity and from the god's depiction on the coins of Demetrios Poliorkites.
