D'Hancarville, iv. pi. 11S ; Heydemann in Jahrbuch, i. (1886), p. 290. Designs red on black
ground, with accessories of white and purple, retouched. Shape as Fig. I. Above the designs,
laurel-wreath ; below, wave-pattern ; below the handles, palmettos.
(a) Scene from a comedy: On the 1. is the youthful Dionysos to r., with
long hair, ivy-wreath, dotted taenia tied round head, bordered himation over r.
leg and 1. arm, and shoes with white studs, hands extended, 1. arm leaning on
staff; he holds out fruit in 1. hand to a comic actor who dances before him, as if
intoxicated, with r. leg uplifted and arms extended. The actor wears a close-
fitting garment with sleeves (jerkin and anaxyrides in one piece), with a white
stripe down the legs, and over it a short purple chiton with padded stomach,
and purple phallos ; he has a large nose and wrinkled face, white hair, and
pointed beard. On his head he balances a large basket ornamented with
zigzags and palmettes, all painted in white outlines; Dionysos raises r. hand as
if to prevent the basket from falling.
[Cf. F 148 ; but it is not likely that Atlas is here intended.]
(b) Epliebos to r., with wreath, himation, sandals, in one hand a twig, con-
fronting a female figure with wreath, himation, veil over the back of her head,
and sandals.

(a) Scene from a farce, perhaps a father dragging a drunken youth
home from a symposion : A high stage is represented, supported by three Doric
columns (the centre one white) ; from it hang two purple taeniae and four vine-
branches ; on either side of the scene is a post representing the side-wall. On
the stage are two comic actors confronted; the one on the r. has a mask with
short stiff white hair, beard and moustache, jerkin and anaxyrides in one piece,
over which is a short white chiton with yellow stripes and purple border,
embroidered chlamys round body and 1. arm, purple phallos and padded stomach,
ln I. hand a hooked stick ; he moves away to r., looking back, and with r. hand
grasps the other's 1. wrist. The latter has a mask with black hair and beard,
wreath, lantern in r. hand, pJiiale and purple taenia with yellow spots in 1. ; he is
attired as the first; behind him is a swan to v., pecking the ground.
(V) Two epliebi confronted ; the one on the 1. has long curly hair, wreath,
long chiton, himation with clotted border, sandals, and staff in 1. hand. The
