Notlar	Following the traditions of Greek sculpture, Apollo is shown leaning languidly against a tree with one arm resting on his lyre (harp). His right arm is raised over his head, throwing a cloak over his shoulders. This type of Apollo figure derives from the Apollot Lykeios of Praxiteles and was repeated often in Egyptian works. A similar pose, however, is often used to depict Dionysus, and in the case of some objects, it is difficult to differentiate between the two gods. Mythological figures, although pagan, continued to be used as decorative motifs in Christian Egypt as a sign of upper-class learning and culture. The curve of the plaque reflects the shape of the bone from which it was carved. Bone carvings such as this one, especially when related to festive Dionysian rites, were used in Early Byzantine Egypt from the fourth through sixth century to decorate secular furnishings.For the latest information about this object, plaques, visit art.thewalters.org. \| Dynasty: \| Inscriptions: \| Reign: \| Style: \| more \| less
