Abstract
During the XXV season of excavations carried out by Rome «La Sapienza» University Expedition
to Motya, a terracotta mould was found in the Sacred Area of the Kothon. The mould shows a quarter
of a silenus bringing the handle of a vase. The iconographic analysis and the stylistic parallels allow
to date the mould and to set it in the cultural context of Motya. The iconological analysis suggests the
possible relations between the subject of the mould and the deities worshipped in the Sacred Area of
the Kothon.
