Fragment of a relief with a dancing maenad, 1st century BC 27 BC–14 AD, period of the rule of Octavian Augustus, Roman Empire, bas-relief; height 35 cm, width 30 cm, thickness 6.5 cm, A weathered carved stone fragment rests against a neutral gray background, showing a draped, folded fabric motif with flowing curved grooves and rounded, rolled forms. The stone surface displays a range of light colors including off-white, creamy beige, pale yellowish tones, and faint warm browns in spots, with subtle shadows in gray and soft tan where the carving recesses. The piece has rougher, eroded edges and a textured underside, while the carved areas appear smoother with gently rounded contours and layered ridges suggesting folds.
