| Description |
The statue depicts a faun, who is entirely nude with the exception of a nebris, or panther skin customarily worn by these mythological creatures. The skin is knotted at the statue’s right shoulder. The faun raised his right arm and in his hand he holds a cluster of grapes, symbols of the harvest, Bacchus, and wine. In his left hand in a pedum or shepherd’s crook, another common piece of iconography common to representations of satyrs. At the creature’s feet we can see more objects typical of the Dionysian world such as a goat and an instrument used in merriment-making. The eyes of the faun were separate pieces, probably made from a paste or precious stones; as you can see, they are no longer extant today. The figure is made of an ancient red marble from Laconia, in the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. This statue was found in 1736 at Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli. The work is a Hadrianic replica (117-138 A.D) of a Greek original from the late Hellenistic Period. capitolini.info/scu00657/ |
