Relief Head of a Satyr
Greek
The left facing profile head of a young satyr with fleshy lips, snub nose, deeply recessed eyes, pointed left ear and upswept lock of hair on right side. Was possibly an applique as part of a larger scene, perhaps a Dionysiac revel on a terracotta pinax or relief ceramic vessel. The massive hair sweeps upward from forehead on left side of object which is made of brown clay, solid mold made, back indented with small hole near bottom.
