Sculpture, Dionysus statue - 16 cm - cold pottery

Dionysus is the god of wine in ancient Greek mythology and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. Dionysus was the god of wine believed by the ancient Greeks and Thracians. He not only possessed the intoxicating power of wine, but also became a very inspiring god at that time by spreading joy and love. He promoted the civilization of ancient society, established laws, and maintained world peace. In addition, he protected Greek agriculture and theater culture. In the legend of Mount Olympus, he is the son of Zeus and Semele (in another version, Zeus and Persephone). The sacrifice of the ancient Greeks to Dionysus was one of the secret religious rites, similar to the Eleusinian Mysteries of Demeter and Persephone. In Thracian rituals, he wore fox fur, which was said to symbolize new life. The Dionysian carnival ceremony dedicated to Dionysus is the most secret religious ceremony. Size: 7.5*10*16 cm, height 16 cm, weight 800 grams Cold pottery material, mineral rock on the surface burns at high temperature
