Title
Antefix with Head of Silenus
Description
English: An antefix is the decorative end of a roof tile. This one depicts a balding Silenus, a mythological creature that is half man, half beast. He has pointed goat's ears, a fleshy face with a large, bulbous nose, and wears an animal-skin cloak knotted under his long beard. Made in a mold, it was originally framed in a shell-shaped plaque and painted red, white, and black.
