Sculpture, Fauno danzante - 85 cm - Plaster

Dancing Faun, plaster replica; height 85cm, from Pompeii, Casa del Fauno; Roman copy of a Greek original dating back to the 1st century BC.
This is a bronze statue produced using the lost wax technique, from the second half of the 20th century. It was made from a mold of the original created at the beginning of the twentieth century by a historic foundry in Naples, the Chiurazzi foundry. This foundry produced, in addition to large-scale monuments, reproductions of statues from major museums, and supplied the souvenir market for travelers of the late 1800s and early 1900s, the travelers of the Grand Tour.
