Candelabrum Stand of a Dancing Maenad

An Etruscan dancer holding up a lamp, mid-step.

What

A small bronze dancing woman in pointed shoes balances a cylindrical support on her head and lifts her long-fingered hand.

Why

Etruscan, made around 525 to 500 BC as part of a candelabrum or incense burner; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds it (1953.124), CC0.

Notice

The pointed shoes and long fingers are what mark her as Etruscan.

“A maenad who carries the light for the party.”
