Gorgoneion Plaque with Incised Figure of a Dancing Satyr

Cleveland Museum of Art

Beige-colored stone plaque with a face carved into it. The face has curly short hair on top and sides, with large ears. It appears to have a large nose and a wide open-mouthed smile showing teeth. The face looks grotesque or comical. A figure of a man with an upturned face, dancing, is etched into the bottom right section. The man appears to have his arms raised. The background is gray.
