I love it !!!!!!!!  It looks absolutely stunning . 

I have ' The God Of Wine ( an cement version) hanging on my front fence post . Nowhere near as beautiful as that though.  

what sort of plug did you use  to make the face look 3 D  ?  Are we to know how it was done? 

 I have a brother thats right into Greek mythology & all sorts of Roman, & medieval history etc.  . ( he made the cement version) My desk top even  has a   Rubens  ' Calming The Tempest'  with Neptune , so I can sorta relate to this. ( and I'm also  a  fan of Ray Harryhausen .... but thats off topic ) . 

Well done

This has a carved plug, a-la Al Stohlman's book about embossing.  I won't reiterate what he says there, but if you give it a look (Highly recommended), you'll see how it was done.
 

As for history and mythology, there is a long tradition of wine making here in Greece and in Italy, and Greeks do it differently than everyone else.  It's inspirational!  Lets see your cement one!

Fantastic work as always, love to see your stuff.  Maybe someday I'll be as good!

You totally can do it.  Just a little more time in grade and push yourself just like you're doing now.

In more things than wine, and not ALL of them good, but overall, good wine.
