Arco de fíbula tallado con una mujer y un joven reclinados, una sirvienta y un pájaro

ca. 500 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 170
Esta obra es la talla en ámbar más compleja de la antigua Italia que ha llegado hasta nuestros días. Unos orificios en la base contienen restos de un alfiler de hierro, lo que indica que esta estatuilla era una fíbula (imperdible). Una mujer y un hombre están reclinados en un diván. Ella sostiene en la mano derecha una pequeña vasija, cuya boca acaricia con los dedos de la mano izquierda. Su acompañante es un joven imberbe de rostro redondo. Un pájaro anida en los hombros de la pareja y una sirvienta se acurruca a sus pies. Se ignora si las figuras son mortales o divinas.
