The sculpture was found in the nets of a local fisherman ("It was accidentally found by A. Chatzantoniou, caught in his fishing nets, and handed over to the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities.")in the sea area between Pserimos and Kalymnos in 1994. 3rd century BCE, Archaeological Museum of Kalymnos
A headless bronze statue dating back to the Hellenistic period, weighing 300 kilograms and standing two meters tall, was recently caught by Turkish fishermen off the coast of Marmaris, near Halicarnassus.
