On the dark blue background, the two figures are standing, engraved on the white layer. They are looking at each other, a little column between them. Ariadne is holding a stick with her left hand, her right arm hidden beside the bust of Bacchus.Her right leg bent is in relief, meanwhile the rendering of the left one well held is more flat, creating a sense of volume. The wine god, is holding a rhyton in his right hand, meanwhile his left hand rests on the column. Legs crossed, with the left on top, also in relief. Very fine condition. Rare.
