ders; the head, shoulders and left arm of this figure are broken
away; the right arm appears to be enveloped in the sleeve;
the Satyr behind her raises his right hand to his head as
he springs forward ; the Maenad in front of Dionysos has long
hair ivy-crowned, and wears a talaric chiton with long sleeves
hanging in a fold over the girdle; over this is an upper gar-
ment reaching to the hips; she stretches out her right hand
muffled in drapery towards Dionysos ; on the askos, which she
bears, AVIO, [the skin containing] " Lyaios or wine;" the
scene is bounded by a rock, probably representing the Thracian
mountains where the Dionysiac orgies were celebrated ; 2. rev.
the same subject continued; a Satyr, Komos or Marsyas, is play-
ing on the double flutes, while before him are two Maenads
and a Satyr, and behind him another Maenad, all dancing and
waving their arms with frantic gestures; the two Satyrs are
ivy-crowned; their hair and beards fall in ringlets ; the Maenads
wear talaric chitons with long sleeves over which falls an
upper garment as low as the hips bound with a girdle ; their
hands are muffled in their sleeves; the Maenad behind the
flute-playing Satyr has her hair cross-banded with a diadem
and wears earrings; she rushes forward swinging her arms be-
hind her, at her side a thyrsus ; the Maenad in front of the same
Satyr, perhaps Oragie, wears a panther's skin over her chiton;
her hair falls in long tresses, is gathered into a knot behind and
bound with ivy ; she throw's her head up in the air stretching
out her arms on each side ; at her right hand an ivy-branch; the
Satyr next to her looks back at the flute-player as he rushes in
an opposite direction, throwing up his hands with a gesture of
amazement; at his side a thyrsus falling to the ground; the
Maenad on the extreme right has her hair cross-banded with a
diadem, and wears earrings; she is moving away from the
scene, raising her left hand towards a rock which bounds it on
this side; the thyrsi in this thiasos are composed of a branch
of ivy in full leaf surmounted by a mass of ivy-foliage ; 3. inside
the cup, an aged figure about to shake hands with a youth
who has just issued from the door of a house with a spear in
his left hand, perhaps Telemachos at the palace of Nestor;
the aged figure is nearly bald, and slightly bearded; he wears
a diadem, a talaric chiton bordered with a Meeander border
and fringed; with his left hand he leans on a baktron or
staff; the youthful figure is beardless, has long hair gathered
up under a diadem and clustered in curls over his forehead, and
wears a bordered chlamys hanging from his shoulders and
ders; the head, shoulders and left arm of this figure are broken
