Crafted from terracotta and adorned with vibrant pigments, this Etruscan masterpiece measures 31.4x29.8x12.1 cm and is currently housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The intricate details of this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The satyr's face exudes a sense of mischievousness and wild energy, with its pointed ears and prominent beard adding to its mythical allure. Its distinctive horns further emphasize its divine nature, hinting at connections to ancient Greek mythology.
