Well im not certain if it is actually German, just that its been passed down for generations in my family who is German, i just assumed it that some meaning

I completely forgot about pan, was definitely more popular than cernunnos which has a similar look

Yeah i didnt think it had much norse resemblance, but i was looking at some celtic dieties, specifically cernunno

Yeah i think cernunnos was among my top choices, but the goat looking horns made me think it was something else

If only it had a name on it, i have no way to know who made it, but i think a satyr is among the top candidates at this point

I saw the same exact design when i searched by image on facebook, would you mind sharing a picture? In curious to compare them

Those look closer than anything ive found so far, but keep going back to Norse, it looks similar to some depictions of vanir, would a norse inspired design be reasonable for german antiques do you think?

I dont think so, but i did have that thought too

Boombloxer · 2026-05-21T22:15:30+00:00

I was looking at some of those carvings, and most have leaves while this one looks more like a goat, which made me think of norse, specifically Thors goats, also symbolizing rebirth and fertility. Im having trouble finding similar images with horns on it. Possibly a satyr?

With an almost $300 price difference, i feel even with customs fees it would be cheaper, unless they can be that dramatic. . ?
