See Boucher, S., Inventaire des Collections Publiques Françaises - 17 Vienne: Bronzes Antiques, Paris, 1971; Ratkovi?, D., 'Wagon and Harness Bronzes from the Roman Collection of the National Meum in Belgrade' in Thiasos, Festschrift fur Erwin Pochmarski zum 65.

UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. Apanied by an archaeological report by Dr. Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is apanied by AIAD certificate number no.11092-184034. Bronze figurative decorations on funerary wagons are very often of Dionysiac character and related to Dionysiac mysteries. Hitherto it was a standard approach for the scholars to consider the decoration of funeral wagons as exclively associated with the cult of Dionys and vario themes related to this cult, considering that many of the chariot fittings excavated to date were bts of the god himself, Maenads, satyrs, young men with vine-leaf crowns, or animals, like panthers, linked to his cult. One example similar to this sculpture is the bt of a Maenad in the collection of ancient bronzes of Vienne (Boucher, 1971, cat.42) which is most probably a chariot decoration, together with a bt of Dionys in the same collection (Boucher, 1971, cat.43").
