Pensive Pan: Ancient God of Sacrificial Fertility. He was the goat-hooved and lusty king of the Arcadian forest, the original Horned One. His Neolithic cult was later subsumed in the ecstatic wine-rituals of Dionysian Greece. This seated representation shows the god in his prankster or "puckish" mode, horned, ithyphallic and seated upon a hummock. The first tragedy (in Greek-tragoidos meaning "goat song") told the sacred story of his death and resurrection. Pan is the quintessential woodland god, demonized by the Church to diminish his powerful influence upon rural folk across Europe.

Celebrate Life with Lusty Pan. This wild and goat-hooved king of the Arcadian satyrs was closely identified with Dionysos and the cult of wine and ecstasy. Our magnificent Renaissance image shows him carrying a wine jug at his hip and a cornucopia on his shoulder. Invite Pan to your next party!

Young Pan, Arcadian Shepherd of Wild Animals. Even as a boy, Pan prefers the solitude of his pipes and his goats. He reminds us to respect the wilder side of nature and to take time for contemplation, love of beauty, and playful fun.
