About this 3D model

This is a marble head of the Greek God Silenus, dating to the Hellenistic era and found in the sanctuary of Echmoun in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon. The head was stolen during the Lebanese civil war but was later retrieved by the Lebanese Administration of Archaeological Antiquities. In Greek Mythology, Silenus was a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus. In cases where the God is depicted as being considerably older he is known as Papposilenus.
