Bacchus

3rd-4th century H: 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm) Citation Source image

The youth with drapery around the hips and vine leaves in his hair is probably intended to represent Bacchus. The cross-hatched rear surface indicates that the plaque was glued to a wooden object. The top preserves its squared edge; all other sides are broken.
