Help to identify this metal figure

Age? Artist name? Thanks for all

 

From Greek god mythology - "Pan the Flute Player" would be my guess.

 

No goat-like hindquarters so not Pan. More likely a shepherd figure. @Bronwen can confirm (or not.)

He could be Daphnis, who was a shepherd.

 

Adam 1-Could you take a clear,well lit photograph of the base for stamps,markings ?

 

Sorry it is no sign in statue. Only this see last picture

 

The photo was so dark and blurry all I saw was the flute and Pan came to mind. Should have looked more carefully.

 

That was my first thought too until I looked more closely. Reason why good quality, well-lit photographs so helpful.

New pictures now

 

Young shepherd was my immediate reaction. His garment/drapery is overly long for a shepherd or for boys generally, so not sure artist was adhering closely to any specific tale or figure. He can be Daphnis if we want.

Isn't he fingering the flute rather strangely?

 

Yes.

Debra

 

I was thinking the same thing! Very strange/unusual indeed

 

How big/tall is the statue ? Could be spelter or zinc,looks like a fairly crude mold seam,cheaper gilding/paint.Might have gone on something-clock finial,part of garden art ?

 

maybe this was the concept for... " Blow it Out your Ear !!! "

 

Antique depiction of 'ear candling' ?

 

I dont understand ?

 

Is 21cm high, i think it contains both copper and tin

 

Joke,Witz,Grap,Blague...like this-"maybe this was the concept for...'Blow it Out your Ear !!! "

 

Hands are wrong, I think -- left hand at top of flute, right hand lower.
