File:God Of Lantilly, Esperandieu.jpg
The statue is of a nude figure seated on a low seat. A large bunch of grapes sit between his knees. His left hand is placed on his thigh; his right hand, badly broken, seems to have held a serpent. The serpent coils around the serpent and has a tail like that of a fish. The head of the serpent and the head of the figure are missing. A rectangular opening (8cm by 5cm) has been carved in this figure's stomach, presumably intended to hold something. The statue is probably of a Celtic god, perhaps Cernunnos.
