- Curator's comments
- This relief represents the scene that is more famous from marble reliefs, the so-called Kitharodenrelief, showing Apollo and Victory, but also Leto and Artemis (fragment of such reliefs in the British Museum collection are 1776,1108.6 and 1816,0610.190).
The scene as a terracotta decoration is thought to originate in the Augustan period, in which time also the British Museum plaque is to be placed (Von Rohden-Winnefeld, p17-18).
