A Roman marble sarcophagus fragment
Early 3rd Century A.D.
From the corner of a sarchophagus, carved in high relief on one side with a nude satyr, facing right, with pointed ears and deeply drilled locks, a goat-skin falling in folds over his left shoulder, bending down and pouring wine from a bucket, his left foot on a wine skin, with a diminutive Eros on the right, looking up into the bucket and clasping the rim with his left hand, the remains of a hand in the upper right corner, holding a theatre mask aloft; the left side carved in low relief with a horned lion-griffin in profile striding to the right, 22in (55.9cm) high
