The relief, mutilated on the left side, may have decorated one of the niches carved into the rock in the so-called Templi Ferali of Akrai quarries (Palazzolo Acreide), where a particularly large number of dedications to the Agathos Daimon are found. During the Hellenistic period, the Agathos Daimon is depicted as a bearded snake, creatures that the Greeks considered the guardian genius of the house.
