A very nice detailed walnut woodcarved bust of an bacchante. The very nice curly hair and the details of the woman’s face tells us that she is surrounded by Bacchus himself (acording to the Greek mythology he was the king of the wine, always drunk, probably she as well). The bust is mounted on a ebonised circular base.
