Satyr and dancing maenads. In ancient Greek mythology, the female followers of Dionysus were known as maenads, holding significant positions within his retinue, the Thiasus. Their name literally translates to "raving ones." Maenads were also referred to as Bassarids. Meanwhile, a candelabrum, sometimes called a candle tree, is a candle holder featuring multiple arms. This term originates from Latin. This object is part of the global digital archive project, "Scan The World," created by MyMiniFactory.
