Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure ("Hope Dionysos")
A marble statue of a youthful male figure, his hair crowned with leaves, leans his weight against a draped female figure at his side. He wears a short tunic and cloak and raises one arm, while the carved folds catch soft light against a dark gray ground.
Look closer: Fine carved leaves and berries in the wreath at the top of the head.
