  • English: Oscilla is Latin word, the plural of oscillum, a diminutive of os, meaning "little face." The term is applied to small objects, usually masks or circular panels with sculptural relief decoration, which were hung up on cords or ribbons to swing back and forth in the wind, on tree branches or in architectural settings, as offerings to various deities or as decoration in homes.
  • Italiano: L'oscillum (diminutivo del termine latino osculum, a sua volta derivato da os, per "volto") era un tipo di piccola scultura, rappresentante una testa, che in epoca romana veniva appesa come dono votivo alle fronde degli alberi in occasione di alcune feste, come le sementivae faeriae, o feste della semina, o nelle paganalia, feste dei pagi, o villaggi di campagna, in particolare in onore del dio Bacco.
