A guest, Eloise, at pbase.com's version of this set added:
"Marble copy of an original fourth-century BC bronze by Lysippus called "The Apoxyomenos" or "The Cleanser", from the Greek word "to wipe off". It shows a young athlete wipind the oil from his skin with a scraper - now lost - after winning a wresting match.
