Faun and Bacchante

In ancient Greek mythology, the maenads, also known as Bacchantes, were the devoted female followers of the mighty god Dionysus and held positions of prominence within his retinue, known as the Thiasus. This remarkable statue captures a moment in time with one of these powerful women standing side by side with a faun, an animal often closely tied to Dionysus through mythological associations.
