编号 83856703
Finely carved of orange banded agate in the shape of the mythological creature Aigipan, its front body of a ram and back body of a long fish with dolphin tail.
AIGIPAN (or Aegipan) was one of the goat-footed gods known as Panes. When the gods fled from the monstrous giant Typhoeus and hid themselves in animal form, Aigipan assumed the form of a fish-tailed goat. Later he came to the aid of Zeus in his battle with Typhoeus, by stealing back his stolen sinews. As a reward the king of the gods placed him amongst the stars as the constellation Capricorn. The mother of Aigipan, Aix (the goat), was perhaps associated with the constellation Capra.
