NEB'RIS (νεβρις). A fawn's skin; worn as an article of dress by persons addicted to the chase (Serv. ad Virg. Georg. iv. 342.); but more especially occurring in works of art, and amongst poets, as a characteristic covering of Bacchus and his followers, by whom it is usually put on as an exomis. (Stat. Theb. ii. 664. Achill. i. 609.) The illustration (Nebris/1.1), from a Greek bas-relief, represents a Faun attending upon Bacchus, with the nebris in his hands; and the wood-cut s. SIMPULUM shows it upon the person of a priestess engaged in making a libation.
