A small but striking and imposing terracotta protome.

Shows a seated/squatting  satyr or possibly it is Silenos the god of wine making and inebriation.

(He does look rather drunk as he clutches what looks like a katharos to his left side)

86 mm high.

There has been a fairly recent break mended as you can see, running down from his right shoulder.

There may be an older repair on the other side but its very difficult to say for certain

3rd/4th century BC

Probably Corinthian

Ex UK collection.
