Description
The front side of the oscillum (disc suspended in a colonnade or from a tree) is worked in the form of a clipeus of the head of Zeus Amun surrounded by a frame of overlapping scales. It is interesting to note the use in the private ambit of a clipeus of Zeus Amun, which is also found in the decoration of the attic of the forum of Augustus. The divinity's pathetic and baroque type of face is typical of the Neronian-Flavian age. This sculpture was discovered in Pompeii, garden of house IX 1,7.
