Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This Oscillum was discovered in Orange (Roman theater). It is decorated on both sides. The obverse reveals two masks shown in profile. In the foreground is that of Pan, characterized by his pointed ears, his beard and his disheveled hair held up by a headband; in the background, on the right, appears a mask of a young woman (Cybele?) whose hair has a double row of curls. The reverse presents a similar theme, with less accentuated relief, with probably Attis, wearing a Phrygian cap, and Silenus. Gift of https://bge-geneve.ch/iconographie/personne/hippolyte-jean-gosse, 1886. The Oscillum is now in the Musée d'art et d'histoire of Geneva (MAH).
