The enigmatic figure leans against a tree trunk or support, exuding an aura of sinuous sensuality that evokes the iconic image of Dionysus (Bacchus). However, a closer examination reveals a subtle clue: an end of hood or indeterminate headdress peeking out from beneath the nape.

Dating back to the mid-fourth century BC, this Roman replica is a testament to the enduring legacy of its Greek original.
