Young satyr figurine found in 1957 in cistern 33 on the south slope of the Acropolis. The biggest part of the arms, as well as, the lower left leg is missing. The smiling satyr, with messy hair adorned with an ivy-wreath, has pointy ears and short tail attached to the small of his back. He is in motion with his right arm stretched and covered with his short himation. The eye-pupils are in the form of two round holes.
