Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection.

Luni marble.

The spiral column is shaped as a vine-trunk, with ivy-shoots and vine-leaves with tendrils twisted around. The little head of a silenus is visible in the upper part of the trunk. The Dionysiac typology of the work suggests that it originally belonged to a sculptural group with Dionysus or had a decorative function, perhaps as a little candelabra.

The column may be dated to the Flavian period.
