RARE ETRUSCAN BRONZE SATYR STATUETTE
Ca. 700 - 500 BCA solid Etruscan bronze statuette depicting a kneeling satyr, likely to be Silenus. The statuette has been finely cast through the lost wax (cire perdue) process. The satyr's head is adorned with characteristic horns, while his face is covered by a thick, bushy moustache and beard. Particularly decorated is the top of the head, where precise incisions have been used to create a hair texture. The statuette is a wonderful representation of a devoted follower of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine.
