A delightful depiction of the Roman god of wine Bacchus, also known as Dionysus to the Greeks. A very fine carving, with detailed grape vines and ivy leaves flowing around his head. It has been set into a silver gilt brooch setting, which has a detailed border. It is sold with the antique box it was found in, which it fits in well.
