Roman Marble Sarcophagus Fragment
From the corner of a sarcophagus, 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 portly 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 aloft; the left side carved in low relief with a horned-lion griffin in profile striding to the right.
