Beschrijving
Trapezophoros (table support) is one of a pair of marble supports for a large tabletop that probably stood in the atrium of a wealthy Roman house. Both sides are finely carved with grape vines and floral sprays rising from acanthus, recalling the vegetal designs of Augustan monuments such as the Ara Pacis in Rome. At each end the head and torso of a winged griffin emerge from a feline leg, their deep relief and powerful musculature contrasting with the delicate floral decoration.
