ventional folds. The female figure in a resembles the figure on the interior of E 51, but the hair
over the forehead is in single wavy ringlets. Eye in the form used by Duris (long and narrow,
with bold curve and dotted pupil). The beard of Dionysos is of the long wedge shape ; the
saccos and the A are also of the form favoured by Duris. The designs curve up over the
shoulder. Below, a continuous band, sets of three maaanders separated by red cross squares ;
round the neck, alternate palmette and honeysuckle between two rows of egg pattern. Below
the handles, a pattern composed of five palmettcs with honeysuckle flowers.

(a) Dionysos and a Nymph. In the centre is an altar in the form of an
Ionic capital on a plinth, with necking of egg pattern ; over this Dionysos on
the r., bearded, with long hair wreathed with ivy, a long sleeved chiton and an
himation, holds out in his r. a cantharos (partly destroyed) from which wine
flows. Beside him is his name, ?0$W01A, Aiovvaos. On the 1. a Nymph,
Nymphsea, in a long sleeved chiton of thick material with apoptygma, earrings,
and an embroidered saccos, pours wine from an oinochoe in her r. into the
cantharos of Dionysos ; with her 1. she lifts the skirt of her chiton. Beside her
is inscribed her name, nvnqaia, Nw^am. Above the centre of the design
HOTAIJ KAVO$, 6 irals koKos.

[The figure of Dionysos is (excepting the head) identical with that of the weman on
r. 0(6.]
