Head of Dionysus

The likeness of this portrait bears striking resemblance to motifs commonly associated with Zeus and Hermes in ancient iconography, yet the hairstyles unmistakably identify it as an image of Dionysus, the Greek deity revered for his association with wine and revelry. A wreath of leaves adorns his head, complemented by a delicate tiara that rests low on his forehead.
