The Route of the Museums of Caesaraugusta

The Route of the Museums of Caesaraugusta
Zaragoza, Spain

Fragment of a Lucerne disk with figurative decoration representing a mythological scene. This is a variant of the abduction of Europa, since Europa appears riding on a ram and not on a bull, as the legend says. The entire figure of the woman is preserved, appearing mounted laterally on the animal; She wears a short tunic that is gathered on her left shoulder leaving part of her chest visible, her hair is combed in a bun and she carries a palm in her right hand and in her left the end of a cloak that waves in the air. In her ram, her horn and her sex stand out clearly marked. Under Europa's feet you can see the start of the feeding hole of the Lucerne tank. The paste with which this piece is molded is orange toned and retains traces of black slip.
