A mask of satyr, identifiable with Pan, is joined to the base of a large erect phallus. In the field, a globe and the letters MA-R (MA in diphthong). The head of the satyr turned to the right is characterized by: goat horns, a curved nose, a thick curly hair and a beard with elongated locks. The phallus, with the scrotal sac, is rendered in the slightest anatomical details very marked and mirror-polished. Typically Republican engraving style, using finely polished globular elements. Attractive variety of stone, exploited for the composition also with symbolic purposes. Slightly convex setting. Slight wear marks. Hybrid composition with apotropaic value, performed with skill, in the style of Grylloi. Unpublished. English private collection N.M., since 1985.
