Description
Content (description)
In centre a satyr supports a drunken Dionysus; a tiger sits at his feet on left. This scene is flanked by tree trunks sloping inwards and entwined by vines. From these trunks hang two heavy garlands of fruit, leaves and corn, supported at the outer edges of the relief by two winged male figures rising out of a cluster of acanthus leaves. Over each garland on a rocky ledge stand two bacchic masks face to face.
