Reliëf uit ivoor met voorstelling van een bacchanaal, door Ignaz Elfhafen 1869 - 1887

This ivory relief, created sometime between 1869 and 1887 by an anonymous artist, depicts a bacchanal scene. The composition is filled with figures, including a satyr playing a flute, a reclining male figure with a wreath, and a female figure pouring wine from a cup. The scene is set amongst lush foliage and vines, characteristic of the Dionysian revelry often associated with bacchanals. The high relief and intricate detail of the work showcase the artist's skill in ivory carving, a medium known for its delicacy and warmth.
