Description | He is draped in a nebris which is knotted or pinned on his right shoulder and clings diagonally across his chest. One cloven hoof dangles against the god's left thigh; another hangs down his back. Bacchus' left arm is raised (perhaps to support a thyrsis) and his right arm lowered (perhaps originally holding a cantharus). |
