A roman agate cameo. Satyr and mask.

1st - 3rd century A.D.

20 x 25 x 7 mm


The bucolic scene is well composed and is skillfully carved in high relief on an agate characterized by delicate nuances. On the right side, a satyr sitting on the ground with his back resting on the rocks, in the act of playing the syrinx; in front of him, on the left side, a theatrical mask placed on a rock. The satyr's right thigh (in the background) is chipped. The scene seems inspired by a marble relief. Traces of iron patina. The representation is part of the repertoire of bucolic scenes with references to theater and the musical arts, without excluding allegorical allusions. Rare type.



U.K. private collection, London.
