Covered Cup with Satyrs

Virgilius Solis

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a covered cup adorned with satyrs. The cup has a bowl shaped like a truncated cone with the smaller side on top. The lower part of the bowl has engravings of leaves. The top of the bowl is flat with a raised rim. A decorative finial rises from the center of the lid. The body of the cup features two satyrs; a plant-like object with a bird on top separates them. Several curved volutes extend from the body of the cup. The base of the cup is decorated with a torus molding. The background of the image features a light-colored paper texture. A horizontal line intersects the lower part of the image.
