An enticing brass figure of a candlestick-bearing satyr with an ink stand in the manner of Renaissance artist Andrea Briosco called Riccio (Padua, 1470-1532). Sitting upon an up-turned scallop shell, the mythical creature holds a cornucopia surmounted by a thin-handled urn nozzle in his right hand, while a quatrefoil bowl is to his left, serving as the inkwell.
