According to the PAP Oplontis
Guidebook, it is believed that the small statue of a boy with a goose that was
found in one of the porticoes overlooking the courtyard garden, used as a
fountain, presumably would have been originally placed on the small fountain in
the centre of this open space.

According to De Caro, perhaps this statue may have come from the fountain with the cascade at the centre of the garden in the rustic courtyard.
