South of the Krempelmühle and "westlich des sich erhebenden Goldberges" a relief (H. 0.39 Br. 0.24 D. 0.08) with a representation of Silvanus was found in 1895. We mention this find because also in or near other Mithraea similar representations were discovered.
Kuzsinsky in JOAI II 1899 (Beibl.) 59f No. 14 and fig. 22.
Standing Silvanus in tunic and cloak. On the bearded head a cap. He holds a sickle in his r.h. to the right with open frontal mouth. Between the branch of an oak in his l.h. Next to his r. foot sits a dog which raises its head up to the god.
