Pitcher with Pan and a Satyr

Greek made in Alexandria 25 BC- AD 25

Bronze and silver

The floral and figural motifs on this finely worked pitcher relate to Dionysos, the god of wine. An inlaid silver grapevine encircles the vessel's neck, while a satyr's head decorates the handle near the rim. The head of the woodland god Pan forms the base of the handle.
