This appears to be an exact cast of the original bronze statue originally from the "House of the Faun" located in Pompeii and dating from 180 BC.

The original sculpture once graced a courtyard pool in the "Casa del Fauno". This figure was cast in the late 19th century in the workshop of Michele Amodio who cast many examples of bronze from antiquity. Price: $3,850.00.
