This charming, carved stone garden statue once adorned the lush gardens surrounding the Austrian castle Schloß Hueb OberÖsterreich. It depicts a young Bacchus being fed grapes by a playful Silenus. Similar stone ornaments have been used to enhance the natural environment since the eras of ancient Greece and Rome. European castles, Italian villas, English estates and French chateaus have all beautified their gardens with outdoor sculpture for hundreds of years. Echoing the classical era through its subject matter, this statue is the quintessential ornament for any garden, and its rich history further enhances its appeal.
