This is a figure of a Bachantin (Maenad or Bacchae) located on a corner of the Town Hall of Tübingen, Germany, Baden-Württemberg.
The little figure shows a nude woman with a bunch of grapes.
In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers of Bacchus (Dionysus), the most significant members of the Thiasus, the retinue of Bacchus. Their name literally translates as "raving ones".
