The stone sculpture is currently housed in the Museo Nazionale Etrusco at Villa Giulia, located in the enchanting city of Rome, Italy. This remarkable piece of art captures the essence of Roman mythology with its intricate detailing. The image portrays a female maenad accompanied by a mischievous satyr, both followers and companions of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. The satyr's goat-like features add to his mythical allure while emphasizing his connection to nature. The maenad exudes grace and beauty as she stands alongside her companion. The architectural context surrounding this antefix further enhances its significance. It serves as an ornamental element on buildings, often placed at the edge of roofs or walls to ward off evil spirits or protect against bad luck.

This photograph not only captures the exceptional craftsmanship but also provides insight into ancient Roman culture and beliefs.
