Bacchus Dionysus Sculptor Santini God of Wine Italy NR

Up for auction is a bust of Bacchus (Roman Mythology)  or Dionysus (Greek Mythology) 

 the god of wine.  Santini's highly method of reproducing sculpture, replicates the texture

and appearance of hand carved work.  Over the years, they have learned how to retain the

finest details and characteristics of the oringinal.

He is l5 inches tall and 9 inches across his shoulder and set on a round black base and

 weighs 7 pounds. He is made out of oxolyte which is pulverized marble and resin.  The white

oxolyte material ages gracefully and often attain a lovely warm patina that resembles ivory.

I think oxolyte is also known as bonded carrara marble.  White marble from Northern Italian

quarry of Carrara.  Ther is a label on the bottem of the base that says sculptor A. Santin

Classic Figure Made in Italy.

The bust is in excellent condition and comes from my smoke free antique gift shoppe.

I do my best  to give accurate and complete descriptions.
