Oil lamp depicts Dionysus, the god of vineyard and wine. The details on the lamp - the nude and somewhat androgynous figure of the deity, intervened ivy in his hear, the Silenus on his right side holding a kantharos and vine grapes and rosettes emerge, points to a Dionysian scene. He is careless Dionysus, the god who inspires ecstatic and joyful celebrations, accompanied by music and dance, most often under the influence of strong wine. His divine mission is to free his followers from the care and worries of everyday life.
