A rare Swiss Black Forest Rare Walnut Satyr Carving holding an ivory cane with a basket on his back, circa 1870.  In Greek mythology satyrs were half human, half goat deities who lived in the woods and mountains. They were the companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and spent their time drinking, dancing and chasing nymphs.
