These female figures were also referred to as Maenads, which translates as "raving ones". These women were often portrayed in states of  ecstatic frenzy characterized through dancing & feuled by wine, often they would handle or wear snakes. This statue depicts a Maenad in frenzied dance, holding a mask in one hand and a thyrsus (a stick wrapped in vine leaves and tipped with a pine cone).

Born in 1858 in Spain, Gustave Obiols Delgado was a Sculptor from the Girona town of Figueras according to some, and from Berga according to the Great Catalan Encyclopedia, among his works were "A Gypsy", a large terracotta statue that he gave in 1877 for the raffle to benefit the family of the painter and draftsman Padró. He created a monumental fireplace for the 1889 Great Paris Exhibition and two vases with Japanese figures for the same event. At the National Exhibition of 1890 he presented his statue of Ariadne, the princess of the island of Crete, from Greek mythology. Obiols' work can be found in many of the leading art museums & galleries in Europe and North America.
