The marble head of Serapis probably was part of a complete statue. Serapis is portrayed with his usual features, having long, thick twisted hair, a thick twisted beard, and a long mustache blending with the beard.

The mouth is partially open and the nose is long with two narrow nostrils. This type of portrayal of Serapis belongs to the Roman era.
