This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Appliqué with Satyr Walking to Left, Ancient Greek, 2nd century BC (Greco-Roman), made of ivory.
Courtesy & currently located at the Walters Art Museum, USA:
This relief formed part of a larger composition that likely decorated a piece of furniture. The satyr appears with a deer skin around his neck and carries a club, the typical attribute of Heracles.
