Modern copy of the Dancing Faun
The dancing faun that stands in the atrium of the House of the Faun at Pompeii is a modern copy. English Wikipedia's article on the house says of its best-known pieces that "the statue seen today in the house's ruins is a copy", and records that the original was found on 26 October 1830 beside the atrium's limestone impluvium and is now in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. Wikidata classes this item as both a replica and a statue.
