was introduced at the beginning of the fourth century
and is familiar in the Hermes and Dionysos of Praxiteles.
The result of the combination is not happy, since the
general effect is that the group lacks stability and is
overladen on the left side, where an elaborate artificial
support is required.—Purchased from the Farnese Coll.,
1864.

right arm of Satyr, with pedum, nose, feet, part of stump ; left
hand and foot of child. This group is first known as in the
possession of the Grand Duke of Tuscany (see Antiquarum
Statuarum Urbis Romae Icones, by G. B. Cavalieri and others,
1621, p. 100). It was afterwards in the Farnese Palace.

1657. Eecumbent Satyr. This figure, in its present condition,
represents a Satyr recumbent on a small rock, with the
legs extended and the body thrown back, in a position in
which it is hardly possible to maintain a balance. The
figure, however, originally formed part of a group repre-
senting a Satyr struggling with a N}rmph. who repels his
advances. The female figure has perished, all but traces
of two fingers of the left hand, which are pressed against
the face of the Satyr. The head of the Satyr was
originally encircled with a diadem or other ornament of
metal, the holes for which still remain ; a piece of drapery
covers the rock.
The plinth of the statue is antique; on the upper
surface of it is engraved a canon or scale of measurements,
