Satyr and maenad, both to left, looking back. The satyr's left hand touches the shoulder of the maenad. All that remains of her is her head with woolen fillet to right, her right shoulder with peplos and part of her right arm, her right foot, to left. The object on the right is a flaming torch held by the maenad. Above her head:

On rim, laurel wreath to left. Around root of handle, egg pattern with dots. Below the figures, stopped-maeander pattern with checkerboard-squares, a dot in each reserved square. Preliminary sketch. Dilute glaze: lines on torch. White: inscription. Red: flames.
