Dionysos Fauns Pressing Grapes Relief

This Neoclassical relief from the 19th century collection of the Louvre Museum represents the Lenea or festival of the wine-pressing which is an Athenian fertility celebration in honor of Dionysos (Bacchus)--the Dionysian mysteries being one of the main components of the old Greek religion. The followers of Dionysos likened the plucking, crushing and pressing of the grape to form a pleasing nectar to the progress of the soul, which is formed whole and then crushed and pressed into shape by the trials of its earthly adventures. Made from compound stone, ready to hang, 12"H x 23"W.
