Object description
A round plaque framed by a ribbon with ornamental decorations. The composition depicts a multi-figured dynamic scene. In the centre is the naked figure of Bacchus (Dionysus) with a bunch of grapes in his left hand and a cup in his right, into which a satyr is pouring wine. To the right of Bacchus is a half-naked Maenad (Bacchante), his constant companion. Below are four putti playing with a ram jumping through a hoop. Above Bacchus' head are grapevines and grotesque heads of horned satyrs.
