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.
