"

Attic 525-500 B.C. Clay, added red.

H. max. 9 29/64 in; 24 cm. L. max. 10 3/4 in; 27,3 cm

The thirteen fragments, some of which are reassembled from fragments, all come from the wall of the vessel. Smaller fragments, some with ornamentation, come mainly from the belly and base, two fragments belong to the shoulder, one of which with a tongue frieze and picture frame. The picture field on one side of the vessel is framed with a band of pomegranates and a maeander with saltire squares. Dancing legs and two satyrs' tails are preserved and probably three satyrs were depicted originally. On the largely preserved panel of the opposite side, Dionysos in the centre strides to right towards a satyr holding a vine and a long, curved rhyton. He is followed by another drunken satyr who gesticulates with his arms and hands like his fellow satyr. Both sides depict a thiasos, the festive procession in honour of the god of wine. Two grapes and encircling bands in added red.

Glaze abraded in places. Black glaze on the interior of all fragments.


Formerly Herbert A. Cahn, Basel, 1990s.
