Description:
A young satyr wearing the pardalide (panther pelt) across his shoulder. The sculpture has been restored; the head, and both hands with the flute have been added. As with another known copy in Mantua, the Roman copyist added a relief of an ox on the support of the base. It is a late date Roman variation on the Satyr Anapauòmenos (in repose) (the Resting Satyr, of a type attributed to Praxiteles also in the Capitoline Museums). Found in 1749 on the Aventine, moved to the Capitoline Museums in 1818.
