A late 17th century Flemish carved wooden japanned polychrome figure of Bacchus.
Low countries, circa 1700

Height: 30 cms (12 ins)

The antique wooden sculpture stands at 30cm tall and depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and fertility. Bacchus is holding bunches of grapes, with vines in his hair and as clothing. He stands on a stepped plinth on which is a  tall tub of overflowing grapes that supports him. This symbolises the abundance and fertility of the vineyards.

The figure is intricately carved and the surface of polychrome japanning, which was popular in the late 17th century. This style involved applying layers of lacquer and paint to create a glossy and colourful finish.
