Bronze figurine of Satyr - Mythical Creature - Ancient Greek Mythology

Satyrs are figures from Greek mythology who were followers of the god of wine Dionysus and who were often guilty of excessive sexual desires and overindulgence of wine. Men with a horse's tail and ears or men with goat legs, these shaggy and unruly creatures lived wild in the forests and symbolized the dangers of unrestraint. Satyrs are frequently depicted in ancient art, typically causing havoc by attacking women and performing lewd tricks with wine cups. They could be more industrious when Dionysus put them to work making wine. The most famous individual satyr is wise old Silenus, who was the tutor of Dionysus. 

All our bronze items, are cast in Greece, using the traditional 'lost wax' method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in patination and coloring. Each piece is, therefore, unique.
