Hand carved marble Italian masks by Satyr (Set of 2)
About the Item
Set of 2 extraordinary Italian masks by Satyr. Carved entirely from marble. Original from Italy, 19th century.
A Satyr is a mythical creature from Greek mythology, known as a follower of the wine god Dionysus. Satyrs are half man, half goat, with pointed ears, buck's legs, a tail and sometimes horns. They symbolize nature, lust, music and celebration. They are often depicted as playful, licentious figures who dance, play flutes and chase pleasure. In Roman mythology, they resemble fauns. They embody instinct, seduction and the wild side of man.
These can be hung on wall, or we can have a stand made.
In good condition, both have the left horn broken off.

Roman Marble Head of a Satyr
Located in London, GB
Head of a Satyr
Roman, circa 2nd - 3rd century AD
Carved and highly polished marble
An extremely fine marble head of a satyr, depicted with ivy wreath, curly hair and pointed goat’s ear, the full lips slightly parted to reveal the creature’s clenched teeth.
The head was once part of a relief with visible fragmentation on the left side. Almost completely worked in the round and carefully polished, the skill of the sculptor is particularly remarkable given the confined working space available for a relief carving, such as this.
The Roman Imperial Period marked the expansion of the political and cultural influence of the Roman Empire. The period began with the reign of Augustus in 27 BC, immediately following Caesar’s assassination which ultimately ended Rome’s time as a republic. Soon after, Augustus’ defeat of Anthony and...
