Six satyrs or fauns performing on a tightrope. Two carry a thyrsus, one plays a tibia, one plays a lyre, one pours wine from one vase to another, and one balances with his hands together. Copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli from his Antiquities of Herculaneum (Antichita di Ercolano), Rome, 1790.
