I love this satyr cast.

Thanks, glad you liked it! At first glance it just looks like a handsome young man, and then you notice the eyes.

And not only the eyes but also the ears which are not human. Its a beautiful shot. May I add that this is "the Resting Satyr" propably from an original of Prassiteles.

Just slightly un-human!
