This brooch, crafted in 835 silver, depicts a classic mask of the god Dionysus (Bacchus in Rome), patron of theater, wine, and revelry in Greco-Roman mythology. The design faithfully reproduces the traditional iconography: a joyful face, curly beard, wrinkled brow, and exalted expression.
Inspired by theatrical masks from the Hellenistic world, this piece directly evokes Greek tragedy and comedy, where Dionysus was invoked as a symbol of transformation, ecstasy, and artistic freedom. The piece was likely crafted in Greece in the second half of the 20th century, following a strong tradition of neoclassical jewelry.
With a pin closure and a ring for use as a pendant, this brooch is perfect for collectors of classical art, theater lovers, or those who appreciate pieces with symbolism and personality.
