AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

Why I think so:

She is holding bunches of grapes aloft and also in the other hand a horn. Grapes and wine are the symbols of Bacchus/Dionysus.

The pose and the semi-dancing, festive character suit bacchantes in classical iconography.

That bent “horn” with fruit is a horn of plenty (cornucopia), often paired with grapes in Bacchus scenes.

So: a bacchante (Bacchus/Dionysus figure), not a separate goddess with her own name. The dimensions are as follows (+/-):

Height: 37 cm
Width: 12 cm

All our products are well packed and shipped insured.
