Rome, ca. 2nd century CE. This is a wonderfully detailed Roman bronze, depicting the bust of a satyr. He is frowning and has an almost angry look in his eyes. He is wearing a wreath in his hair, as well as an animal skin, which is fastened at his left shoulder.Great care has been taken to add details: the wrinkles in his face, the eyes with eye lids, the broad nose, the mouth with its slightly pursed lips, as if he is disapproving of something, the locks of hair, the veins of the leaves in his wreath, and the dotted texture of the animal's skin. Height 6 cm excluding mount.A delightful piece that will make you smile. Provenance: The Haggin Museum, Stockton, California; acquired by Bruce A.
