Description:
Beautiful figure of Bacchus and Ariadne. This is a nice figure made in the first half of the nineteenth century. Bacchus and Ariadne is a mythological legend, in which Ariadne was abandoned by Theseus on an island. The Bacchus God appears and falls in love with her, giving her a crown of gold, which later became constellation, giving the name of Corona Borealis.
It is a curious and beautiful figure, which represents the love of Bacchus by Ariadne.
It is quite rare to find sculptures of mythological scenes like this, what gives value as curious collector�s item.
It can be used as a decoration.
At the moment it is performing a cleaning process. This is a soft material, probably tin and / or mixed with other white metals, such as nickel, antimony, zinc, lead etc.
