Dionysus worshippers, known as Maenads or Bacchae, often carried thyrsi, which were staffs topped with pine cones and entwined with ivy or vines. They also carried symbols of fertility and abundance, such as grapevines and baskets filled with fruit. These items represented their connection to the god of wine, revelry, and ecstasy, reflecting the themes of nature and celebration in their rituals.
