Arc de fibule sculpté : femme allongée, jeune homme, suivante et oiseau

ca. 500 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 170
Cette œuvre est l’un des ambres sculptés les plus complexes qui nous soient parvenus de l’Italie antique. Les trous percés à la base, qui gardent des traces d’une tige en fer, indiquent qu’il s’agit d’une fibule (épingle). Une femme et un homme sont allongés sur un canapé. La femme tient un petit vase dont elle effleure l’ouverture de la main gauche. Son compagnon est un jeune homme imberbe au visage rond. Un oiseau niche entre les épaules du couple, tandis qu’à leurs pieds se tient une petite suivante. On ne sait pas s’il s’agit de personnages mortels ou divins.
