Pan was the Greek God of Shepherds, Hunters and the Wilds. Pan is the only Greek god (other than Asclepius) who according to mythology actually dies.
As the Story goes (in mythology) :
Pitys was a nymph who Pan loved. In order to escape Pan's advances Pitys asked the gods to transformed her into a fir tree.
Syrinx, another nymph, was turned into Reeds to escape Pan. Pan, then, used her reeds for his "Panpipes".
The Doorstop shows Pan playing these panpipes trying to charm the nymph on the mushroom.
