Tail-grabbing Satyr is a small Roman sculpture of a Greek original from 150 BC. Although much damaged, it shows the moment the young naked satyr turns around to look at his horse’s tail, as if satyr and viewer discover at the same moment that he is not human. Turning around under spotlights enhances the intended erotic effect.
