A rare tile with a picture of a satyr playing a flute.
The satyr is often confused with a devil, which is by no means the case. Satyrs regularly appear in an Arcadian atmosphere while chasing nymphs. Satyrs are wild demigods, usually in the retinue of the wine god Bacchus along with maenads.
Tiles with only the painting of a satyr are very rare and probably have been one separate series.
