Summary
[edit]DescriptionMithras the hunter represented on horseback galloping to the right and shooting arrows, two-sided relief on pivot with side-panels, Museum Schloss Fechenbach, Dieburg, Germany (9352565950).jpg |
A. The front: The relief revolves on a pivot. The front is divided by horizontal and vertical rims into eleven panels. In its centre a representation of Mithras in a short tunic and in a flying cloak as a horseman. The god whose head is damaged shoots an arrow from his bow. Before the horse a tree. On either side a torchbearer in Oriental dress and cross-legged standing upon a krater. The left one lifts a torch with both hands; the right one lifts a torch with his left hand. and holds a torch downwards with his right hand. Next to the right. torchbearer an animal with long ears (probably a hare) is represented. Mithras as a horseman is accompanied by three large dogs. Around this main scene there are various other representations.

In the background of this Dieburg relief there is a tree, either cypress or pine, and Mithras, astride a galloping horse, is shooting at a hare whose long ears are just available; three large and ferocious looking hounds are bounding forward, and on either side of Mithras, each standing upon a vessel, is a torch-bearer. Although the lion is missing from this scene, the presence of the torch-bearers lays particular stress on the elements of light and fire; for the element of earth in the form of a snake we have here instead the two vessels which are symbols of water.
