Description |
Plaque with Mithraic scene. Described in Eboracum as "Mithraic relief, plaque, of limestone, 2ft 3ins by 1ft 10 ins with closely packed figures in an arched recess, badly worn. The principal figure is Mithras, in Phrygian dress, his left knee bent and resting on the bull's back whilst he stabs it in the neck. A dog jumps up to lick the blood from the wound. To the left and right stand the torch bearers, Cautes and Cautopates, the latter much multilated. Above Mithras and the bull, three busts appear, the Sun with radiate crown to left, the Moon to right, of mithras, and on her right an unidentified figure. Below the bull-killing, three groups of figures represent an initiate's progress. On the left he receives baptism, the priest pouring water on his head; in the centre he shares a wooden tub with an initiate, the tub probably filled with ice cold water; on the right he is ushered into a horse drawn chariot. This presumably represents the grade of Heliodromos." |
