In Perge where marble sculptures have been so bountiful as to provide Antalya Museum with the main body of its collections, bronze statues are rarely encountered. Most of the evidence that bears witness to their existence goes no further than stray fragments or marks on stone bases. Exceptional in this respect is the fragmentary Attis statue discovered in 1971. After a preliminary cleaning and conservation, the head belonging to this fragmentary find was put on display, but the rest have been kept in the depot in Antalya Museum inv. 3877 . Finally in 2011, Istanbul University Perge team decided on the conservation and the re-erection of the statue. The outcome of this decision and of the work henceforth carried out by E. Koçak with the sponsorship of TURSAB can now be viewed on the second floor of the museum.
1971 yılında Perge macellumunun doğu galerisinde bronz bir heykele ait parçalar açığa çıkarılmış ve heykelin Attis’i betimlediği belirlenmiştir. Antalya Müzesi’ne teslim edilen buluntular 2011 yılında İstanbul Üniversitesi kazı heyetinin kararı ve TURSAB’ın desteği ile yeniden ele alınmıştır. E. Koçak tarafından gerçekleştirilen konservasyon ve restorasyonda, her aşama belgelenmiş ve müdahalelerin geri dönüşlü olması amaçlanmıştır. Kalça hizasındaki eksikliklerden dolayı, eser birbirine değmeyen iki parça halinde, fakat bütün bir heykel görünümü yaratacak biçimde ayağa kaldırılmıştır
