Description
Rome, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. Pan, the god of shepherds and hunters, leader of the nymphs, president of the mountains, patron of a country life, and guardian of flocks and herds, was likewise adored by fishermen, especially those who lived about the promontories washed by the sea.

furrowed. 4-3/4"H (12.3 cm). Custom Lucite mount.
