A decorative figure of a Satyr (“faun” is the Italic deity comparable to that Bacchic country spirit).

This is a Roman copy of a Hellenistic original belonging to the second school of Pergamus (Second Century B.C.). It was discovered in Rome in 1675 during an archeological excavation at a sculptor's studio, which explains its surface's unfinished appearance. It was resorted in the seventeenth century by Ercole Ferrata.
