About this 3D model

On this circular base are depicted three Maenads, priestesses of the god Dionysus who, under the influence of 'divine madness', abandon themselves to bare-footed dancing. The theme of dancing Maenads is a creation of Kallimachos, an Athenian sculptor of the 5th century B.C., favoured by the Roman clientele for the grace expressed by his figures. This is a production of a Greek workshop of the second half of the 1st century B.C.
