"Italian Hand Carved Marble Satyr Masks (set Of 2)"
Set of 2 extraordinary Italian Satyr masks. Entirely sculpted in marble. Original Italian, 19th century. The satyr is a mythical creature from Greek mythology, known as a follower of the god of wine Dionysus. Satyrs are half-man, half-goat, with pointed ears, goat legs, a tail, and sometimes horns. They symbolize nature, lust, music, and revelry. They are often depicted as playful and licentious figures, dancing, playing the flute, and having fun. In Roman mythology, they resemble fauns. They embody instinct, seduction, and the wild side of man.
They can be hung on the wall, or we can have a stand made.
In good condition, both have the left horn broken.
