Maenad (Bacchante) at The Louvre, Paris

cults3d

The wreath of entwined ivy and vine unmistakably reveals the subject of this sculpture as a Maenad, a figure who proudly marched alongside the procession of Dionysus, the revered god of wine. This exquisite statue in the Louvre may have been a faithful replica from the Roman era or an original Greek creation, lost to time, crafted during the pivotal third century BC.
