Antefix in the Form of the Head of a Satyr
View through Harvard Museums
This mold-made terracotta antefix represents the head of a satyr. The eyes are wide, the nose is broad, and the plump lips are closed. The features are in low relief with remains of red, yellow, and brown pigment. The antefix likely comes from a larger plaque that would have decorated the roof of a temple or other architectural structure.
