Panel of a Garland Sarcophagus in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Panel of a Garland Sarcophagus in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Panel of a Garland Sarcophagus
Roman, AD 200-225
Marble

Cupids bearing garlands of laurel leaves decorate this front panel of a Roman sarcophagus (coffin). At left are the heads of two maenads facing each other; at right are the heads of a satyr and the part-man, part-goat woodland god Pan. The holes- in the eyes of the central cupid, for example- were drilled in the Renaissance, when the sarcophagus panel was refitted for a fountain.
