Description
Content (description)
The nymph, draped, sits on a high rock and locks her legs round the leg of the satyr, as he rest his knee against the rock. Each has an arm round the other. The satyr holds his right hand to his head. He wears a loin cloth and a pine (?) wreath. Over the rock hangs an animal skin, from which hangs a Pan pipe with a pedum leaning by it. The nymph rests her left hand on a tympanum on the rock. A pair of crotola lie on the ground and a tortoise crawls by them.
