The baseplate is nearly square in shape, but two edges are noticeably concave. A modern hole facilitates mounting (with a modern rod in the right leg), and marks show the placement of both feet, once attached with lead solder. A nearly circular lead solder mark located at the front left corner likely corresponds to the placement of a small tree, now lost. Baseplate for the Cleveland Apollo: Apollo Sauroktonos (Lizard-Slayer) or Apollo the Python-Slayer, c. 350–200 BCE, or possibly later. Possibly by Praxiteles (Greek, Athenian, c. 400–330 BCE), or Follower. Bronze; base: x x cm (
