A (illustrated), Dionysos with maenads and satyrs. The youthful god (part of thighs missing), a himation around his hips and legs, reclines to left on a couch, looking back at a maenad dressed in a peplos who holds a tray with a cake on it, her right leg raised slightly. In the god's right hand is a thyrsos; over his couch, a pantherskin. Behind the maenad stands a satyr, a pantherskin over his left shoulder, a kantharos in his right hand, and a thyrsos in his left. At the left of the composition there is another satyr and maenad (most of his thighs, her back and hips missing): he has a skin over his left shoulder, a thyrsos in his right hand, his left foot resting on a rock; she wears a peplos and holds a tray with small cakes. Around the head of each figure is a wreath. Above the head of the left maenad hangs an ivy garland. Other plants appear here and there. B, three youths, two to right, one to left, each with a fillet around his head and dressed in a himation. Part of the drapery of each is missing. On rim, laurel wreath to left. Around each handle root, egg pattern with dots. Below the figures, stopped-maeander pattern with checkerboard-squares. Relief contour for profiles on Side A. White: wreaths; cakes; fillets; berries on plants; vine of garland; ribbons or streamers on thyrsos and hanging from the base of the couch or paw of skin.
