Cult relief depicting the Nymphs?; place of discovery: Stolna (Cluj County); 2nd - 3rd century AD.
The piece is fragmentarily preserved, broken along almost the entire height of the left side. The relief depicts five female figures, the one on the extreme right having only the head preserved. The figures are depicted from the front, standing, all holding hands in a dancing position (saltatio). Behind the figures is a slightly sketched portico or building façade, each figure framed between two columns supporting a triangular-shaped opening. The five deities have been interpreted as a group of five Nymphs or Silvanus accompanied by four Silvanae. It is quite possible that the relief is broken in half and, symmetrically, there must have been four other Nymphs to the right of the central figure. The relief would therefore represent nine Nymphs, in which case the dimensions place it in the category of cult monuments.
