The first Bacchanalian group was found in 1836 by Colonel Stacy and is now preserved in the Indian Museum. It shows Kubera as the principal figure whose ‘portly carcass, drunken lassitude, and vine-wreathed forehead, stamp the individual, while the drapery of his attendants pronounces them at least foreign to India, whatever may be thought of deity’s own costume, which is certainly highly orthodox and Brahmanical’. [Fig. 153].
