Amphora-rhyton (amphora (storage vessel); Unknown Roman (Roman Artist); 4th - 5th century; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 92.AM.12)

Note: The amphora has an elongated body terminating in a spout at the point of the foot. Two arching handles with foliate forms and goose heads begin at the gilded rim of the vessel and descend to satyr heads adorned with wreaths. Gilding accents the satyr's ears and beards, and gilded ivy leaves rise from the center of their foreheads. The plain neck of the vase is encircled by a collar of overlapping horizontal feathers. The body is decorated at the top of the shoulder with a tendril frieze encircling single addorsed leaves, below which are fifteen rows of vertical feathers, and twenty-two plain horizontal bands accent the base. Gilded bands separate the different decorated zones.
