2311. Eelief of Dionysos and a Satyr, from a sarcophagus.
Dionysos stands to the front, and is looking to the right.
He has a long thyrsus in his left hand, and has his right
arm round the neck of a young Satyr, who supports him.
Dionysos has long hair, which is brought to a knot at the
back of the head, and falls on the shoulders. He has a
mantle, and buskins. The Satyr is nude and carries a
pedum. On each side is a Satyric term, supporting a
curved arch, with half palmettes at each end. The relief
is bounded by two fluted and reeded pilasters with
Corinthian capitals, surmounted by volutes. 3rd-4th
cent. a.d. (?).— Towneley Coll.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 9 inches ; width, 1 foot lOf inches. Restored :
about four inches from the bottom. Mus. Marbles, X., pi. 49,
fig. 1; Ellis, Town. Gall., II., p. 193.
This relief is probably part of a sarcophagus, and is restored as such,
but probably from fancy, in Venuti, Vet. Mon. Matt., III., title-
page.
2312. Poet and Muse. Fragment of relief from a highly
ornate sarcophagus. A bearded figure, wearing long tunic
and mantle, is seated to right, on a stool with lion's legs
He has a partly unrolled scroll in his left hand, and
makes a gesture with the right hand, as if reciting. A
female figure, probably Melpomene, stands on the right,
with head turned towards him, and holding a tragic mask
in her right hand. She wears a long tunic, girt under
the breasts, and a mantle. Her hair is tied in a knot at
the back of her head. Compare the figure of Thalia in
