Excerpt from Revue Historique Ardennaise, Vol. 11: Annee 1904
En 1818, M. Nestor Lhoste trouva au pied du Mont Olympe la partie superieure d'une statuette de bronze brisee a la hauteur du sein, la tete garnie de cheveux courts et legerement frises, la face imberbe, les yeux largement ouverts, le nez et le menton deformes par des chocs an ciens, les muscles du cou, ceux des epaules et les pectoraux vigoureusement accuses les bras paraissent avoir ete brises a coups de marteau. Ce fragment, qui ne porte aucune trace de vetement ou d'attribut est uniformement couvert d'une belle patine noire. La statuette entiere devait avoir 17 centimetres de hauteur.
