KOMASTS AND ATHLETES
The subjects
are in Greek terms broadly ephebic, with paraphernalia reflecting either
the post-symposiac komos, or the exercise ground (palaistra) or sometimes
both. The komasts are mainly late archaic in posture, the athletes more
5th-century. All subjects are readily paralleled on Greek gems.

SATYRS
The subject
derives from its treatment in Greek late archaic glyptic, in terms of
physique, pose and attributes. The head appears also in some of the
joined-head compositions, and two flank a footprint (1/4). The
tail is omitted in some versions which are not quite normal in Greek
terms, having intimations of hunting, or the addition of a monkey, which
may also intrude on otherwise Greek-style subjects (as AGGems
no. 424, pl. 30).
