Maenads were mythical women inspired by the god of wine, Dionysos, to abandon their homes and families and roam the mountains and forests, singing and dancing in a state of ecstatic frenzy. This figure, wearing an ivy wreath and carrying a thyrsos (fennel stalk) bedecked with ivy leaves and berries, moves forward, trancelike, her drapery swirling about her. She was copied from a famous relief of dancing maenads dated to the late fifth century B.C., when Euripides portrayed the manic devotees of Dionysos in his play the Bacchae.

As it is the model renders at 4 x 2 cm when you lay it on it's back while the original is 143 cm in the largest dimension. I recommend to scale it up to ~20 cm or you won't see much.
