Triptolemos. At the left stands Persephone (head, part of torso), wearing a himation and holding a torch. She faces Dionysos (head, shoulders), who sits in a three-quarter view to left, holding a thyrsos. He is clad in Oriental dress and has a fillet tied around his head, its loose end hanging down alongside his neck. Behind him is Triptolemos (head, one wing of the throne, the tip of the other wing). He holds a lotus-tipped staff in his left hand. It is unclear what the small bit of added clay with traces of white just to the right of his staff immediately above the break represents (a berry[?]). Relief contour: torch; thyrsos. Added clay: Persephone's fillet. White (flaked): band of Triptolemos' fillet.

For the identification of the woman as Persephone, see Metzger, Recherches, pp. 65--66 and for Dionysos among the Eleusinian deities, LIMC III, 1986, p. 510, s.v. Dionysos (C. Gasparri).
