The figurine depicts the Roman god Neptune standing on a rocky base, partially draped in a green cloth, with a crown and beard. This piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the English ceramic tradition of the 18th century, showcasing the skill of Ralph Wood the Younger in depicting classical mythology. The sculpture's intricate details and delicate colors add to its aesthetic appeal and historical significance.
