Ancient Roman Bronze Satyr Circa 1st-3rd century AD This charming bronze fitting takes the shape of a bust of a Satyr, hollowed at the underside. The piece showcases finely detailed facial features, with elegantly arranged hair, capturing the playful and mischievous spirit associated with Satyrs in Roman mythology. In Roman mythology, a satyr is a woodland deity associated with Dionysian revelry, known for its lascivious and hedonistic nature. Satyrs are often depicted as part human and part goat, with human torsos and heads, goat-like legs, and sometimes horns and tails. They embody the spirit of the wild, untamed nature, and are often shown engaging in drinking, dancing, and pursuing nymphs. The satyr's Roman counterpart is the faun, which shares similar characteristics and associations with nature and fertility.
