Relief with masks of Polyphemus and Galatea

The two masks, sculpted in relief, depict the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus' unrequited love for the nymph Galatea, a personification of sea foam. Polyphemus, identifiable for the eye in his forehead, is shown here as a shepherd with a crown of wheat and a syrinx (a musical instrument) whilst Galatea appears between the waves flanked by a dolphin. The panel was used as a decoration.两件采用浮雕工艺制作的面具，刻画了独眼巨人（Cyclops）波吕斐摩斯（Polyphemus）单恋宁芙（nymph）伽拉忒亚（Galatea）的神话故事——伽拉忒亚乃是海泡沫的人格化身。波吕斐摩斯以额头的独眼为识别特征，此处被刻画为头戴麦冠、手持排箫（syrinx）的牧人；而伽拉忒亚则现身于浪涛之间，两侧伴以海豚。该浮雕饰板曾被用作装饰陈设。
