Nearby, but much older, is the Statuette of an Ithyphallic Dancing Silen, ca. 540-530 BCE from a Corinthian workshop. He has the features of a man and a horse, including, of course, a rather prominently displayed, outsized erection. It would have been smut if it weren’t this old, but it is interesting to know that the endless garish copies on sale in many souvenir shops in Athens are actually based on a real Greek bronze original from antiquity.
