Early Baroque wine fountain in the form of a life-size double figure. Front as Bacchus, back as Bacchante. Carved wood and coloured. Wine could flow continuously through three openings during a festival, while the iconographic design of the fountain refers to a bacchanal. Often fountains of this kind gave both red and white wine.
