Large Cast Stone Wall Hanging or Fountain Spout of Bacchus, God of Wine

About the Item

Cast in France, using a mixture of pulverized stone and cement, this large wall hanging of Bacchus, God of Wine, can also be used as a fountain spout. The stone and cement mixture, which is known as reconstituted stone, has also been mixed with a coloring agent, giving the mascaron a cream color finish. Bacchus has been depicted with a long, flowing beard and horns, while surrounded by grapevines (sometimes called Dionysus, he is the Greek/Roman god of grape-harvest and festivity). Although not always presented this way, there are variations to the myth of Bacchus where he is shown with horns, due to the fact that he taught mortals how to plow fields using animals. Our large cast stone Bacchus can be utilized as a hanging for an outside wall or an interior courtyard. It can also be paired with a stone basin and used as a fountain element, although a hole would need to be drilled in the mouth for an exit spout.

  • 15th or 16th Century Marble Gargoyle Fountain Spout from Arezzo, Italy
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Although when most people hear the word “gargoyle”, they probably envision small, winged creatures with grotesque visages. However, the phrase has a deeper meaning, encompassing any carved head (animal or human) that function as waterspouts. From the Early Renaissance (late 1400’s/early 1500’s), our gargoyle fountain spout features a human-like face with pointed ears, possibly representing a centaur or a satyr. The roughly rectangular block of marble was hand-carved in Arezzo, in the Tuscany region of Italy. All sides except the front of the cream-colored stone have a sawed finish, resulting in a rough texture. The back has been excavated, adding to the character of the gargoyle. A 1 ½” diameter hole has been cut all the way through, forming an open mouth of the gargoyle. The gaping mouth was often a symbol used to conjure images of devouring giants and used to remind people that they are susceptible to certain forces. Our 15th/16th century marble...
