Faun of Vienne

The Satyr, loyal companion of God Dionysus, stands out with its distinctive pointy ears and small horns adorning his head. A lone bust remains from a full-length statue that once existed but is now lost to time. The original group depicted a satyr extending an invitation to a nymph seated on a rock to join in dance. The restored bust has been recomposed from various fragments skillfully glued back together, while gaps were filled with plaster to create a seamless appearance. Traces of vibrant red pigment remain in the hair, eyes, and eyebrows, hinting at the original's rich colors.
