Roman Sarcophagus: Selene and Endymion

Carved panel from the side of a Roman sarcophagus. Selene, steps down from her chariot. At her feet lies Endymion.  A woman stands over him, holding a bunch of poppies in the crook of her left arm. In her right hand she pours something from a small bottle over Endymion.

Mosaic: Aurora and Cephalus

Aurora (Greek: Eos) gazes down at Cephalus who lies across her lap. Aurora's right arm is draped across Cephalus's body, her right hand grasping his left hip. She is dressed in a long gown gathered at the right shoulder. A drape billows behind the couple forming a halo before threading under Cephalus's left arm. Cephalus is shown nude.

Engraving: Memnon on the pyre

Memnon lies in the middle of a large fire on a rocky outcrop. A flock of birds rises among the smoke from the fire. On a cloud in the upper right corner Aurora stands before Jupiter's throne pleading with him. Jupiter's eagle perches by his right leg.

Cameo: Aurora in her chariot

Arurora stands in a two-wheeled chariot, pulled by two horses. She holds the reins with both hands. Her garment billows around her creating a halo effect.
