White marble, 1st cent. A.D.
Pompeii, House of D. Octavius Quartio
Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei, inv. 2891

This sculpture represents a satyr with head bent forward in the effort to support a circular basin into which falls a jet of water, which was then conveyed to the canal below. It was originally placed in the aedicule fountain at the end of the transverse arm of the euripus, standing on an imitation marble painted base.
