In front of it, a nude young man holding a drape behind him in his right hand, steps forward to take the arm of a woman, partly draped, who sits on the ground, looking back at him, and has a snake in her lap. Eros, holding a bow in his left hand and a torch in his right, flies overhead looking back to the young man. A bearded man stands in three-quarter profile to left, with his right foot on a heap of stones in front of a tree. He rests his chin on his right hand and his right elbow on his right thigh. To the right, behind him is slender tree. 2. A square pillar with a capital, beside which sits a nude young man on a heap of rocks. He has a drape over his right leg, and looks to the right towards a woman, who reclines on layered rocks in front of a tree. Her lower body is draped, and she holds a torch pointing downards in her left hand and has her right hand on her head. In front of her is a square stone with central hole and chamfered edge. On the right is a seated nude woman, seated on a separate heap of rocks, looking back towards the other two figures. She is partly draped, and holds a sceptre in her left hand. On the base, a spray of foliage above the head of a young man in profile to right, wearing a Phrygian cap, and a cloak, and having his right forefinger to his lips. title: vase NOTES ----- type: history note value: unknown before donor LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Given by C.J.
