Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.058.

Wooly satyr (torso, start of arms, legs, and tail) to right. White: tufts of fur.

The satyr is dressed in the costume of Papposilenos and is closest to the satyrs on the bell-krater in New York, M.M.A. 25.78.66, attributed to Polion (ARV2 1172, 8; Paralip. 459, 8; Addenda 339). This scene depicts three men dressed as satyrs, each playing a kithara and singing. An inscription above their heads tells us that they are singers at the Panathenaia. For the most recent discussion of the meaning of the representation on the New York vase, see Froning, Dithyrambos, pp. 25--26, who opts for the scene reflecting a satyr play rather than a dithyrambos performance. For the costume of Papposilenos, see E. Simon in The Eye of Greece: Studies in the Art of Athens, D. C. Kurtz and B. Sparkes, eds., Cambridge 1982 [ pp. 121--148], pp. 142--145.
