- Lot Description
Etruria, ca. mid 5th century BCE. Finely cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process, a leaded bronze satyr who is dancing upon a volute with his right leg advanced, both knees bent, his right arm raised with the hand dramatically bent back and palm facing up, and the left arm extended behind his body with the palm facing back. The satyr is nude with a rather erect penis, and his visage presents with characteristically pointy ears, bulging eyes, thick brows, a stubby nose, a closed mouth, and a beard, all topped by a coiffure that falls just past his shoulders. A wonderful example on a block base. Size: 5.125" H (13 cm); 5.875" H (14.9 cm) on included custom stand.
Satyrs were powerful symbols in ancient Eturia and Rome, associated with the joy of the Bacchanal. The consumption of wine was an important social activity and satyrs were oftentimes added to decorative items to signify the owner's affiliation with the cult of Bacchus. Themes of the god and his followers were particularly popular during the early part of this time period, as control of the Mediterranean was shifting from Greece to Rome.
