Cup with Pinecone Reliefs in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Cup with Pinecone Reliefs in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Cup with Pinecone Reliefs
Greek or Roman, from Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), 50 BC-50 AD
Lead-glazed terracotta
Skyphos

Inventory # 86.AE.457

The reliefs of pinecones and needles on this cup imitate repousse (raised designs) on metal vessels and the green color of the glaze resembles the patina on weathered bronze. Undler the handles are the heads of satyrs, companions of Dionysos- appropriate decoration for a wine cup.
