Exquisitely worked in relief is a multifigure scene centered on a rustic shrine of the god Priapus. He is in the form of a stylized boundary marker placed atop a column. A woman approaching from the right seems to have brought him to life by touching him. To the left are votive offerings to the god arranged on top of and around a table. A satyr at the far left and a maenad at the far right dance ecstatically.Size: Overall: 12.2 x 7.8 cm (4 13/16 x 3 1/16 in.)Medium: silverhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1966.371 -- source link
