the description
The shield shows Dionysos, the god of the arts and altered-consciousness. Here he is flanked by his followers the Maenads after they had ripped Pentheus to pieces in the woods - his head rests under Dionysos' foot. It is said that in early times Dionysos had conquered Baktria and brought the art of wine to the region; hence the importance of Dionysos to the Hellenics in Baktria.
