18th Century Carved Limestone 6ft Tall Sculpture of the Mythological Figure Pan

About the Item

18th Century Carved Limestone Sculpture of the Mythological Figure Pan. In ancient Greek mythology, Pan is the god of the wild, protector of shepherds and flocks. His name originates in the Ancient Greek language, from the word p?e?? (paean), meaning "to pasture." He is also associated with rustic music and its magical powers. Portrayed as having the body of a man and the beard and horns of a goat, this highly detailed garden sculpture depicts Pan enrobed in a lionskin terminating on a squared pillar base. He holds a set of his signature pipes. Limestone is composed primarily of the mineral calcite, or calcium carbonate. It displays a wide array of natural hues, from buff to grey. It is easily carved and able to withstand exposure to all weathers. Limestone has the ability to create elegant curves and crisp lines and will hold small detail work. This sculpture displays a wide variety of textures that really brings the stone to life.
