Small marble statue of Pan, god of the shepherds and hunting, follower of Dionysus. He is shown playng the Syrinx, a musical instrument made of reed. The ram that he lifts with his left arm, the animal's hide on the shoulder and the base in the shape of a rocky landscape indicate the bucolic-fertilizing qualities of the god. Argyroupoli (ancient Lappa), Roman period, nd cent. AD. Archaeological Museum of Heraklion - Crete, Greece
