Summary[edit]

Description
English: Table support with a Dionysiac group. Marble from Dokimeion in Asia Minor. Unknown provenance. This piece was the single support for a table top. The pillar support is adorned by a group of Dionysus, Pan and a Satyr. The nude Dionysus holds a rhyton (ritual vase) ending in the front half of a panther. Next to him the goat-footed god Pan holds a (stick to throw at hares). In front of him is a small cylindrical basket, from which a snake is emerging. A young satyr climbs up the vines and cuts grapes with the sickle in his right hand. From the branch hangs a lagobolon, a pan-pipe and a goatskin. The exposed parts of the bodies are very well polished. Traces of red and yellow colour are preserved on the hair of the figures and the branches. This elaborate piece is from an Asia Minor workshop. A.D. 170-180. Accession number: 5706. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Text: Museum inscription.
