Title: | Impression of Relief Mirror | |
Category: | Misc. Clay Objects | |
Description: | Broken off below. An impression made by pressing a heavy lump of clay against some circular object, presumably a mirror-cover. The upper part of the scene is preserved; three figures and a hovering Eros. As seen on the positive made from this negative, they are at the left, a female figure muffled in a cloak; Eros behind her; in the center a nude youth, reclining three-quarters left. He reaches his right hand to the neck of the first figure, but turns his head back toward the third figure, a woman in chiton and himation, who sits just behind him and rests her right hand on his shoulder. Details of modelling, hair, drapery, etc., rendered in great detail. ADDENDA: The scene is of sacred marriage. | |
Context: | Brown Byzantine fill over bedrock. Possibly from Koukla factory fill. | |
