Roman bronze figurine of Pan.
1st ??? early 2nd century AD
Height: 9.32 cm (3 5/8 in.)
Missing feet and tip of the cornucopia in his hand; otherwise perfect. Extremely fine patina.
Sold
Pan, the mythological god of shepherds, herds and hunters, with upper human part and goat horns, legs and tail, is standing, holding a syrinx in his left hand, approaching his mouth, and his right hand is holding a long curving cornucopia. The body in a motion, with the weight on the left leg and the right leg advancing; the head slightly turned to the left.
The figure is finely modeled in a realistic style, with incised details, and the head with expressive face. The style continues the Hellenistic tradition of expression and movement, and conforms with Roman art of 1st-2nd centuries AD.
