Lot 2816
Another Group of Fine Figural Fragments from Roman Red Ware Vessels. North African, 5th century. Probably from Carthage. Lot of four pieces, all but one with mythological motifs. Two pieces, again, from a large rectangular serving dish: one showing a draped and veiled woman leading a naked young child up to a centaur to the right, who holds a staff, and has one hand raised; the second with perhaps a satyr, in heavily patterned short tunic, and playing a large pan-pipes to the goat-footed Pan, who dances at the left. Also, a rim from a large tray: a male figure in long tunic holds cup(?) and cross-like object (thyrsus?), with short column, topped by ornate capital, occupying the corner. Last, a section of bowl with molded and applied fish. All well preserved, with strong, legible designs. Widths: 2-1/4" - 3-1/4". Lot of 4 pieces. Good dealer lot.
Estimated Value $400 - 475.
