Relief Slabs

Found in Rigillis Street, Athens. The three slabs, with their Dionysiac motifs, will have formed the revetment of an altar. Slab inv. no 3497 has a depiction of a panther, Dionysos's sacred animal and symbol. The slab inv. no. 3496 has a depiction of Dionysos at the centre, holding a thyrsos and a bowl. Next to him is a nude wine-pourer. At right and left are two figures of winged Nike leading sacrificial bulls, probably to a victory sacrifice after a drama contest. On slab inv. no. 3498 is a scene of Silenoi and Satyrs making wine: two of them at the right and left tread grapes in wine-presses. In the centre, two more carries a calyx krater full of the juice of the grapes.

该批石刻出土于雅典里吉利斯街（Rigillis Street）。三块带有酒神狄俄尼索斯（Dionysos）主题纹饰的石板，原本应为某座祭坛的护墙装饰。编号3497的石板上刻画有狄俄尼索斯的神圣圣兽与象征——黑豹。编号3496的石板中央刻画着狄俄尼索斯，他手持酒神杖（thyrsos）与祭碗，身旁立有一名赤裸的斟酒者。石板左右两侧各有一尊带翼胜利女神（Nike）像，正牵引着用于献祭的公牛，该场景大概率对应戏剧竞赛获胜后的献祭仪式。编号3498的石板则刻画了西勒诺斯（Silenoi）与萨堤罗斯（Satyrs）酿制葡萄酒的场景：石板左右两侧的二人正脚踏榨酒机压榨葡萄；石板中央另有二人抬着一只盛满葡萄汁的花口兑酒钵（calyx krater）。
