Base for a Satyr and Satyress Group

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a base for a group figure; on top is a tree trunk with two figures climbing it. The base is dark-colored and shaped irregularly; it has two holes on top. The tree trunk rises from the base with one figure climbing up and another sitting on the base. The sitting figure on the base is a satyr. The satyr sitting on the base has a beard and is depicted with goat ears and short horns on top of its head, and a long tail. The base resembles tree roots and has a leafy texture. The figure climbing the tree is a satyress with long hair. The base sits on a white surface with a gradient background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The sculpture is titled "Base for a Satyr and Satyress Group".
