Bronze Box Mirror
Greek, late 4th century BC
In relief: the satyr Marsays and Scythian slave

Accession # 14.130.4a, b

Marsayas was so proficient at playing the double flute that he challenged the god Apollo himself to a contest. Apollo agreed on the condition that the victor could do as he pleased to the vanquished, and after winning, he had Marsayas flayed alive by a Scythian slave.
