Satyr Relief Plaque in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, June 2018
Relief Plaque (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
Date: 4th century BC
Culture: Greek
Category: Sculpture
Medium: copper alloy
Collection: Ancient Art
Dimensions: Overall: 5 × 3 3/4 in. (12.7 × 9.53 cm)
Object Number: 57.18.2
This masterful relief is perhaps from the shoulder guard of a cuirass or the cheek piece of a helmet. It shows a satyr kneeling in a landscape (indicated by a tree) with a dramatically foreshortened right leg and left hand. A satyr typically has a snub nose, wears a panther skin, and bears a thyrsus (a staff surmounted by a pinecone).
