Faun

This statuette, together with a statuette of Bacchus in the same collection, belonged to the same ensemble of which the group of Bacchanal was part. They have the same late 18th-century wooden bases which would indicate that they were not separated only after this. Additional surviving figures from this ensemble of Bacchants are not known.
