Doorknocker with Two Satyrs Riding an Ox

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts two satyrs riding an ox, serving as a doorknocker. The ox's head is at the bottom, mouth open, with two curved horns on either side. Its tongue protrudes slightly. The satyrs are positioned on top of the ox; one sits at the top while the other is behind him, both having horns on their heads. The sculpture is made of dark metal with a slightly shiny surface and some gold accents. The background is a plain gray color, with the sculpture casting a shadow to the right.
