Description

The statue and pedestal on the west side of the south Crescent Pond in Studley Park were created around 1730 for John Aislabie and were restored around 1970. The statue represents Bacchus and is made of lead, while the pedestal is constructed of ashlar and has also been restored. The overall height of the statue and pedestal is approximately 3 metres. This statue was part of the original garden design. The pedestal features a moulded base and cornice. Bacchus is depicted with a tail and horns, wearing a goat skin that holds a quantity of fruit, and he is feeding an animal, which is likely a cat.
