A, Dionysos, maenad and satyr. Fragment P 9346 a/P 17994 (illustrated) shows a maenad (head with wreath and sakkos, most of arms, part of body and legs) to right, wearing a long chiton, her raised left foot resting on a rock. She holds a ribbon or a streamer and reaches toward Dionysos (wreathed head, part of body and legs) seated to right, dressed in a himation, looking back and holding a thyrsos in his left hand. Fragment b shows a satyr (wreathed head, most of both arms, start of legs) to right, looking back, holding a thyrsos in his left hand, streamers in his right. On the ground on a, spiral plants. B, youths. Fragment c shows the heads of two youths facing; d gives a bit of drapery. At the far right of fragment P 9346 a/P 17994 there is a little bit of drapery that belongs to the leftmost youth in this composition. Above the figures, laurel wreath to left; below, stopped-maeander pattern with checkerboard-squares, a dot in each reserved square. White: maenad's flesh; wreaths; thyrsoi; cloak of satyr; streamers or ribbons; spiral plants. Dilute glaze: drawing on white.

Perhaps by the same hand as the unattributed bell-krater Vienna 948, which has the same loose drawing, liberal use of white, and a dot in the reserved squares of the checkerboard (CVA, Vienna 3 [Österreich 3], pl. 134 [134]:3--6).
