The Faun of Pompeii is probably one of the most famous bronze statues in the world.
It gives its name to the House of the same name (called precisely the House of the Faun) and represents a dancing satyr.

The House of the Faun is a Roman house, buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and rediscovered following the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii: it is one of the largest homes in the city and owes its name to a bronze statue, depicting a satyr, placed in the impluvium. It occupies almost entirely the Insula 12 of Regio VI.
