Info about artwork
description: The pointed ears, tousled hair, and mischievous facial expression identify this head, broken off from a statue, as that of a young satyr. Satyrs were mostly human mythological creatures who often sported the tail, ears and perhaps the legs of a goat. They were unruly followers of Bacchus, god of wine, and were popular subjects for art in antiquity and later periods.
