| Description | Unusual and interesting piece. Youghful Bacchus, quite chubby but with some definition of musculature. Hair in ringlets at the back of the neck. Balances a basket of grapes on his left shoulder and holds another smaller basket at his right side. Nice details on body, hair and baskets. |
