A, Dionysos between a maenad and a satyr. The maenad stands to right, wearing a belted peplos and a stephane. In her right hand she holds an oinochoe; in her left, a torch. Next is Dionysos (top of head missing), who stands frontally looking back at her, a kantharos in his right hand, a thyrsos in his left. He wears a chiton and a himation. Then comes the satyr, who has a wreath around his head and moves to right, playing the aulos. B, three youths, the second one frontal looking to left, flanked by the other two, who face him. Each wears a himation. The left one leans on a stick and holds up an object, perhaps an elongated aryballos (Talcott, p. 497). Below the figures, at the top of the cul, maeander pattern with saltire-squares. Preliminary sketch. Dilute glaze: muscles; lines on thyrsos.
