This was in the centre of a pond, but is now in a shallow grassy depression. He has a nasty-looking hole in his tummy. "The drapery emphasises his nakedness and a small hole cut into the stone just above his pubic hair is thought to be the residual hole from a C19 addition of a fig leaf." (from the listing details)
