This masterpiece of the Roman silversmith’s art is exquisitely worked in relief.
The multifigure scene centers on a rustic shrine of the ithyphallic fertility god Priapus, son of Dionysos.
He takes the form of a stylized boundary marker atop a column, where a woman seems to have brought him to life by touching him.
To the left sits a table with votive offerings to the god.
Flanking the shrine are a satyr and maenad, dancing ecstatically.
