AI-assisted summary
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.
