Description from the seller

This does not appear to be a specific 'god,' but rather a bacchante/maenad: a female follower from the circle of Bacchus (Dionysus).

Why I think that:

She holds bunches of grapes up high and also in the other hand/horn. Grapes and wine are the ultimate symbols of Bacchus/Dionysus.

The posture and the half-dancing, festive character align with Bacchantes from classical iconography.

The curved 'horn' filled with fruit is a horn of abundance (cornucopia), often depicted with grapes in Bacchus scenes.

So: a Bacchante (Bacchus/Dionysus figure), not a separate goddess with her own name. The dimensions are approximately:

Height: 37 cm
Width: 12 cm

All our products are well packed and shipped with insurance.
