Description
Content (description)
A maenad moves forward on tiptoe, her right arm raised in a beckoning gesture, turning her head to gaze to left while with her left hand she checks or admonishes a panther, which crouches by her left leg. Her drapery falls loosely in front, leaving her left breast bare, then blows back between her legs so that they too are exposed.
