Dancing faun

cults3d

The Dancing Faun is now precisely identified as a satyr, a roguish figure from ancient mythology and literature known for their love of wine, music and mischief. This satyr holds metal cymbala in his hands and wears a 'kroupezion' attached to his sandal, similar to modern day taps shoes. His faunlike features are visible in the tiny horns above his forehead, and the small goat's tail at his rear. His head is bent over, absorbed in the music, and every muscle of his athletic body, from his deltoid muscles, his abdomen, to his calves, appears tense as he plays.
