DescriptionA drunken, stumbling Silenus at center is being supported by his two companions: a satyr and a faun. The two grab Silenus from under his arms, keeping him upright on the uneven ground, their bodies becoming one twisting mass. Above them in the sky, a large bird carried away something in its long beak. This record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
