The ancient original was fractured into three large pieces and a small one at the top left was lost. We reproduced this bas-relief by simulating the same fracture, but it is a sculptural trick, our artefact is perfectly intact.
The process required 14 days of work from cutting the marble to the end of the work.

Thyrsus
The sacred thyrsus was a ritual staff attributed to the Greek god Dionysus and the followers of his cult, satyrs and maenads. Of various wood, but more often of dogwood or made of a large ferula rod, it was surmounted by a pine cone and ivy and vine leaves were wrapped around it. Sometimes woolen bandages were also tied there, a symbol of consecration. The symbolism linked to this instrument is clearly phallic, especially since for example in Euripides' The Bacchae it is stated that honey flowed from it; it therefore represents the life force of the god which is instilled in vegetation, animals and men.
