Relief Fragment : en salle — Villa Getty

Each panel on this gilded silver matrix-hammered diadem represents a different mythological scene. The surviving panels show, from left to right: a running Gorgon (body and legs only); the battle of Zeus, who wields a thunderbolt, and the snake-legged Typhon (missing a small section towards the bottom of the scene); Orestes slaying Clytemnestra over the body of Aigisthos; a second running Gorgon. The following group of a female figure holding the arm of a warrior or hero with her right hand likely represents Athena and Perseus, who looks back at the goddess as he decapitates Medusa (missing). A final fragmentary panel represents Theseus slaying the Minotaur. The sheet is only partially preserved.
