This head and part of the back of a marble statue of a satyr created in Roman, originating from the Imperial period, the 1st or 2nd century A.D. It was a copy of a Greek statue of the 4th Century B.C. The young satyr, identifiable by his pointed animal ears, was shown pouring wine. Many Roman copies of this appealing work are known today.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
