IX.7.11 Pompeii. 
Discovered 1912 to the left of the entrance at a depth from 1.70m down to the threshold level.
Corroded bronze statuette 18 cm high, discovered with a bronze statuette of a dog, and a naked cupid with the attributes of Hercules.
See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1912, p.333-336, fig. 4, see below.
Kuivalainen describes –
A naked man stands with his weight on his left foot, with the right leg crossed. His abdominal and pectoral muscles are marked; he looks straight ahead, his wreathed hair is curly and drawn back in a bun; he rests his right hand on top of his head and leans with his right elbow on a herm; in the middle of his shoulder blades there is a tang for attachment. The bearded hip-herm wears a short chlamys across his torso.
Kuivalainen comments –
This is a unique Pompeian instance, with Bacchus leaning on a herm depicting Silenus. His more usual support was either a short column or Silenus himself. The legs crossed position is rare in Pompeii but is known from the wall painting from the Villa dei Misteri (F19). …………………………
