Description:
|
The bust, which was initially identified as the portrait of Plato, probably represents Dionysus with his head bent on his chest and turned to the right. His hairstyle is worked with a stylized treatment; on his forehead a high taenia holds in place his thick hair which rolls down on both sides of his head and falls to the nape, while the flowing beard ends below his neck in tight curls. There are slight traces of folds in the central part of his tunic. The bust was discovered in an outlying room of Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, but it probably decorated the peristilium, (four-sided colonnade with a central garden).
