This engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts a tripod found in Pompeii, likely created in ancient Rome. The tripod is depicted as a bronze structure supported by three satyrs, figures from Greek mythology known for their wild nature. The engraving provides a detailed outline of the structure and showcases Piranesi's interest in Roman antiquities, which he explored in many of his works. The image was part of his larger project "Antiquities of Rome," which cataloged Roman architectural wonders.
