A procession of four figures, possibly bacchanalian in nature. Two naked youths are each followed by an older man. The first youth appears to be holding a staff, the other youth holds something above his head. The older male figures are bearded and wear togas. The piece is either a plaster cast from a Roman panel, or possibly a late eighteenth-century or early nineteenth-century panel in the classical style.
