This marble statue shows the god Pan instructing the youth Daphnis in the playing of the panpipes. Pan is a figure from Greek mythology who was originally a pastoral god from Arcadia. He was believed to dwell in the mountains and forests of Greece and was considered the patron of shepherds. He is portrayed with the horns and legs of a goat and animalistic facial features. Daphnis was a Sicilian herdsman and the inventor of bucolic poetry. He pledged his love to a Naias-nymph but, after cheating on her with another woman, was blinded and fell to his death from a cliff. The bucolic poets sang of Daphnis in their idylls. The statue is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Subutai (Subetei, Subetai, Subotai 1176-1248) was the primary military strategist and general of Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan. He directed more than twenty campaigns in which he conquered thirty-two nations and won sixty-five pitched battles, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history. He gained victory by means of imaginative and sophisticated strategies and routinely coordinated movements of armies that were hundreds of kilometers away from each other. He is also remembered for devising the campaign that destroyed the armies of Hungary and Poland within two days of each other, by forces over five hundred kilometers apart. Subutai is regarded in history as one of Genghis Khan's and the Mongol Empire's most prominent generals in terms of ability and tactics helping with the military campaigns in Asia and Eastern Europe. He commanded many successful attacks and invasions during his time and was rarely defeated.
