- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. Finely cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process, a leaded bronze relief of Bacchus (Greek Dionysos, also Dionysus) - the god of wine, theater, pleasure, and merriment - and his consort Princess Ariadne who was associated with mazes and labyrinths due to her involvement in the myths of the Minotaur and Theseus as the daughter of Cretan King Minos. The god of wine sits in ecstasy gazing upon the lovely Ariadne, his left arm reaching over his wavy coiffure, his left hand ever-so-slightly touching Ariadne's curled coiffure. A serpent crawls across Bacchus' belly, and his panther is presented below. Princess Ariadne sits behind Bacchus, draped in a single-shouldered garment with folds of fabric hugging her feminine figure, save her right revealed breast. A rare rendering of Bacchus and Princess Ariadne, expertly executed and presenting with rich russet and green patina. Size: 3" W x 3.875" H (7.6 cm x 9.8 cm); 4.625" H (11.7 cm) on included custom stand.
