Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.152. G. Gualandi, Arte Antica e Moderna 20, 1962, pl. 111:d; LIMC III, 1986, p. 374, no. 4, s.v. Demonassa II; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 411, cat. no. KL 27.

Youth, probably Dionysos (head with broad fillet, shoulder) seated frontally or in a three-quarter view, head turned to left. In his right hand (only the thumb remains) he holds a drinking horn (upper half). At the right break, two fingers of his left hand. At the left, part of the right shoulder with chiton and himation and both hands of a woman holding a fillet. She is probably also seated. Behind the youth, part of another woman (drapery, right elbow) with a staff or more likely a thyrsos. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. Added clay: fillet held by woman. Dilute glaze: line on youth's fillet. White: strings of fillets; decoration on youth's fillet: line above his head.

Beazley (ARV2 1145, 24) suggested that the three figures are Phaon flanked by the nymph Demonassa and by Aphrodite. C. Weiß (LIMC III, p. 375) is probably correct in interpreting the object held by the figure behind the youth as a thyrsos because of its transverse lines, and thus the scene is a Dionysiac one.
