A small and heavy well cast
bronze of the dancing faun - a small reproduction of the life size
statue excavated at Pompeii in 1830 following its discovery in the ruins
of one of the most opulent Roman homes in the city.

This "Grand Tour" example faithfully reproduced in solid bronze and c. 1850

In
excellent original condition other than a small partial fracture to his
raised arm as shown in our photographs. A very good quality and early
example of high copper content and with a natural dark green blue
patina.
