Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Head of Dionysos (The God of Wine and Divine Intoxication). Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 4th–5th century. Terracotta, H. 9 1/2 in.; W. 7 in. ; D. 6 1/2 in.. Metropolitan Museum of Art. This mature bearded man has grape leaves in his hair, suggesting that he is Dionysos. The furrowed brow, indications of age, and piercing gaze reflect a taste for naturalism. The head was buried, and over the centuries a hard crust developed on the surface.
Français : Tête de Dionysos ( le dieu du vin et divin Intoxication). Pakistan ( ancienne région du Gandhara ), 4e au 5e siècle. Terre cuite, H. 24.1, L. 17.8, P. 16.5 cm.. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Cet homme barbu d'âge mûr a des feuilles de vigne dans les cheveux, ce qui suggère Dionysos. Le front plissé, les indications de l'âge et le regard perçant reflètent un goût pour le naturalisme. La tête a été enterrée, et au cours des siècles une croûte dure s'est développée sur la surface .
