VII.7.29 Pompeii. May 2015. Bacchus stele in storage. Photo courtesy of Buzz Ferebee.

According to Kuivalainen, this a Bacchic votive stele of the Samnite era.

It depicts a front facing skinny youth with his weight on his right foot, pouring wine from a cantharus for an animal rather resembling a dog than a panther.

The middle part of the thyrsus is missing.

The width of the frame varies, being thinner on the right hand side.

It is cut deep into a rectangular upright tufa block and the workmanship is rather coarse.

The excavation details are not known.

PAP inventory number 8660.

See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, p. 207-8, H2.
