This 3D-printed Museum Replica meticulously captures the essence of the Kottabos Element of a Dancing Satyr, a notable bronze artifact from the 5th century BC, attributed to the Etruscan civilization. The original, standing at 15 cm (5 7/8 in.) in height, was an integral component of the ancient drinking game kottabos, prevalent in Greek symposia and Etruria.
Crafted between 470 and 450 BC, this artifact reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of its time. The game of kottabos involved participants aiming wine dregs at a dish balanced on the satyr’s hand, blending entertainment with a form of divination regarding future success in love. This lively game created a competitive and engaging atmosphere during gatherings.
The satyr, identifiable by its distinctive snub nose and equine ears, is depicted in a dynamic pose, with one leg lifted and an arm reaching toward a now-missing dish. The figure embodies the cultural significance of satyrs in Greek mythology, known as companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and symbols of revelry and music.
Our 3D-printed replica is crafted with precision to reflect the detailed features and craftsmanship of the original Etruscan artisans. This replica stands at the same height of 15 cm (Nylons), preserving the authenticity and historical value of the artifact.
