Description
The pedestal, located approximately 90 metres south of the Atlas Fountain at Castle Howard, dates from around 1720 and is likely the work of Nicholas Hawksmoor. This Grade II listed sandstone pedestal stands 2.5 metres tall and features a square three-course base leading to a drum pedestal, complete with a moulded base, cornice, and decorative festoons. The feet of the statue that once stood on the pedestal, along with an iron bar that secured it, are still present. The statue itself, which represents a dancing faun with cymbals, now lies on the grass to the north. This faun is a copy of a 3rd-century bronze original that is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
