Door Knocker with Mythological Figures
ca. 1500-1550
This bronze door knocker takes the shape of the head of a satyr between a triton and a siren, a typically Renaissance composition inspired by the vocabulary of the ornamental items used in ancient Rome to adorn villas. The quality of the cast iron and the decoration proclaimed the owner’s status right from the entrance of his home.
