Exponatul lunii septembrie la Muzeul Municipal ”Ioan Raica” din Sebeș: Fragment din marmura cu o reprezentare a zeului Pan

The Municipal Museum "Ioan Raica" in Sebeș features a marble relief fragment of the Greek god Pan as its exhibit of the month for September. This piece, originally rectangular, depicts Pan with goat-like legs and is framed within a rectangular border. The relief highlights Pan's connection to nature, fertility, and music, reflecting his hybrid form with human and animal traits. Pan's mythology includes various origins and stories, such as his love for the nymph Syrinx and his musical competition with Apollo. The fragment was donated to the museum in 1957 and aims to showcase lesser-known artifacts from its collection.
