| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“A Nebris is a fawn’s skin, worn originally by hunters and others, as an appropriate part of their dress, and afterwards attributed to Bacchus, and consequently assumed by his votaries in the processions and ceremonies which they observed in honour of him. The annexed woodcut taken from Sir William Hamilton’s vases, shows a riestess of Bacchus in the attitude of offering a nebris to him or to one of his ministers.” — Smith, 1873
