Maestro IO.F.F. (Giovanni Fonduli?)
Ariadne in Naxos
Round bronze plaque with brown patina, one hole at the top and small hole on the left; 49.3 mm; 29.5 g.
Ariadne seated in the center on a rock; she holds a torch in her left hand?, on the left a faun holding a staff with three animal heads followed by a satyr holding a satyress on his shoulders. On the right two dancing fauns: the first holds a statuette (Cupid) with one arm raised and with the other hand lights a torch for the second faun behind him. In exergue IO.FF followed by floral motifs.
Late fusion. Ref. Rossi F. coll. Scaglia 2011, pp. 260\263; Toderi – Vannel 1996, pp. 74\75, n 122\125;
The latest studies on this artist: Rossi 2011; Fulton 1989; Collareta 1997; tend to assign the signature of the master IO. FF to the goldsmith Giovan Francesco Furnio from Bologna.
