Relief fragment with Agathos Daimon in front of an offering table

7945.jpg

The snake god Agathos Daimon is depicted coiling in side-view, filling the frame almost completely. He faces right; in front of him is an offering table with three offerings on it: in the centre a fir-cone or a bunch of grapes, on each side a round fruit or cake.
The frame is crowned with a cornice.
