The faun is a half-human, half-goat (a man with a goat's ears, tail, legs and horns) manifestation of forest and animal spirits that would help or hinder humans at whim. they are often associated with the satyrs in greek mythology
These popular royal copenhagen porcelain figurines of fauns are collected throughout the world. a faun is characterized as being a mix of human and animal with a human torso and a hairy lower body with hoofed feet.
Fauns are creatures from classical mythology. they descend from the god faunus and are called fauni in latin and are the equivalent of the greek satyrs which are descendants from the greek god pan. usually fauns and satyrs are depicted as being half human with horns and pointed ears and the lower body of a goat.
In great condition no chips or repairs.
