A white marble figure of the Dancing Faun with cymbals or clappers standing against a trunk on left leg. His right foot is attached to, and stepping on, a concertina. The right arm is raised and bent towards him while left is held out and down. In each hand he holds a cymbal. and his smiling face looks down. He stands on a square base and plinth of limestone with dove marble panels. The original was certainly recorded as being in the Tribuna of the Uffizi in Florence by 1688. It was sent to Palermo in 1800 to avoid French seizure but returned to Florence by 1803.
