About the Item
A lovely and well cast example of the Pompeian Dancing Faun. This grand tour bronze stands approx 11.75 inches tall about half size of the original unearthed in Pompeii. Beautiful patina.
In good condition.
From the Museum of Classical Archaeology Database:
Roman copy. This faun was dug up in Pompeii in 1830 and acquired its fame almost instantly. Its findspot was named after it — the House of the Faun.
Its completeness, small size, and the rarity of surviving bronzes made it a favourite subject for reproduction in the modest gardens and interiors of aspiring aesthetes. Another feature attractive to the refined tastes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was that the faun seemed to be joyous rather than drunk
