Naughty Putti

Detail from a Russian silver wine cistern and stand, Sazikov after a design by August Karl Spies, St. Petersburg, circa 1890. Sold for $377,000.

Some very drunk putti are found revelling with wild abandon on this Russian wine cistern. As part of the entourage of Dionysus, god of the grape harvest, winemaking and abundance, Bacchanal putti are usually depicted playing instruments, dancing and, of course, drinking in excess.
