H. to top of handle 0.245; rest. diam. 0.18. Choes and Anthesteria, p. 82, cat. no. 178, fig. 48; J. Oakley, The Achilles Painter (Mainz 1996), cat. no. 107.

At the left, a small satyr (legs, tail) stands before Dionysos, holding out a box or a basket decorated with a maeander pattern. The god (head, right arm, lower drapery, and feet missing) stands to right, looking back, a thyrsos in his left hand, a kantharos (half) in his right. He wears a chiton and a himation. On the ground between the two, an oinochoe of Shape 3. Below the figures, stopped-maeander pattern with saltire-squares. Reserved line for side frames. On handle above root, encircled hanging palmette with a smaller upright one addorsed.

For a similar but better-preserved composition, see the one on Rome, Villa Giulia 50511 (Choes and Anthesteria, p. 180, cat. no. 904, fig. 49).
