This is a marble statue of a satyriskos, originating from the Roman Imperial period, the 1st century A.D. This delightful child, with the pointed ears of a satyr and pins for the attachment of the wings of an Eros, once must have graced a Roman garden. Similar figures have been found placed near the edge of pools. The conflation of the world of satyrs, the followers of Dionysos, with the world of erotes, associates of Aphrodite, goddess of love, is unusual, but both gods held sway in the decorative programs of villa gardens.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
