Grand Tour Medici Dancing Faun with Clappers

Beautifully patinated italian Grand Tour bronze of the Medici Faun with Clappers, after the antique marble original in the Tribuna of the Uffizi. Now more precisely identified as a satyr. Satyrs are roguish figures from ancient mythology and literature known for their love of wine, music, and mischief. He holds a cymbala in his hands and wears a kroupezion attached to his sandal. Rich, almost matt patina mounted on a pale green serpentine turned column pedestal. Italy, probably Naples, late 19th century, circa 1880.
