Sculpture, Satiro - 520 mm - A Modern Wunderkammer - Bronze Sculpture with High Quality Quartz - Lars Jensen - 1900
A modern Wunderkammer
As a mystical ideal, the Satyr is a personified symbol of the fertility and life force of nature.
Quartz has been known since ancient times as one of the purest minerals and its transparency has caused the most disparate stories to grow around it, one of which is that it was ice petrified by the gods and was impossible to melt.
This bronze sculpture, created in the early 1900s, represents a naked satyr posing with a cup and several top-grade Quartz tips.
The black antique marble base creates a beautiful contrast with the elements mounted above.
This dreamlike object was created by German artist Lars Jensen.
Dimensions: 520×180×130 mm
Weight: 3. 80 kg
Year: circa 1900
