About the Item

An antique Italian white statuary marble sculpture of a dancing faun. Dating to circa 1870, this Neoclassical piece has stood the test of time with various expertly handcarved elements, from his torso to the curls in his hair. Light veining can be seen amongst the smooth white statuary marble from which this mischievous satyr was crafted. Satyr are roguish figures from ancient mythology and literature, known for their love of wine, music, and mischief. In this depiction, the satyr is holding metal symbols in his hands and wears a kroupezion (a percussion instrument) attached to his sandal. This sculpture is a striking decorative piece for a Neoclassical or Grand Tour style home looking to appreciate mythology. The sculpture is unsigned.
