'Small marble group which shows the god Dionysus reaching up to a vine; on the left is Silenus on a donkey, and, above, on the tree-trunk, the leg of a goat; to the right of Dionysus is a satyr; and, further right, a maenad carrying a wine-vessel, with a leopard at her feet' (Grimes in ILN, 636).

The base carries an inscription:

Hominibus bagisbitam.
Thou givest life to men
