Description:
|
|
Once listed as a "Bacchus", it is more likely a face of a maenad or bacchante, a woman dedicated to the cult of Dionysus, as evidenced by the symbols of the goatskin, vine tendrils, basket and diadem. The choice of red marble and the resemblance to a theater mask are further allusions to Dionysus (wine and theater). The two holes may have been for water flow and this may have been a fountain decoration. The style and use of rosso antico marble from Greece, place the work in the period of Hadrian, first half of the 2nd century CE. [source: museum label]
