Alternate number:
8-5025 (previous museum number (recataloged from))
Accession number:
Acc.193
Description:
Cast of terminal bust of a bearded Dionysos. From a marble in Villa Albani. The collection of the Villa Albani was hermetically closed in 1901-1902. Malpieri apparently confused this Dionysis with the larger ones on Villa Borghese. A similar bust in the University Museum (marble) is from the old stock of the same Villa Borghese Collection, not placed on exhibition there. Malpieri’s statement seems wrong.
