to 1., his attitude suggesting that he has just thrown the diskos; the fifth
runs to r., with spear (?) in 1. hand ; the sixth moves to 1., with spear in 1.
hand. On the 1. of the herobn are two female figures confronted, the one
on the 1. on higher ground than the other; the former has her hair tied in a
knot with a taenia under an open cap radiated in front, and wears earrings,
necklace, bracelets, long girt chiton, and sandals. Her 1. foot is raised on a
rock, and her 1. hand placed on her knee ; in r. hand she holds out a wreath to
the other, who wears earrings, necklace, bracelets, long chiton with apoptygma,
himation as a veil over her head, and sandals ; her r. hand is raised. Below the
first is a cista ornamented with chevron patterns. Above them is a youth
seated to r., with radiated fillet, the ends floating behind, drapery over r. arm and
knees, wand in r. hand, and a dish held out in 1. containing fruit and a plant. On
the r. below is a youth turning to r. (fillet as the last, chlamys over arms, legs
crossed), leaning on a staff and holding out in 1. hand a dish containing fruit,
from which hangs a wreath, to a female figure facing him on a higher level.
She has her hair tied in a knot with a taenia, and wears open cap, earrings,
necklace, bracelets, long girt chiton, and sandals ; in r. hand she holds out a
cista containing fruit, ornamented with chevron patterns ; on the ground below
is a large phiale. Above them is a youth seated on a rock to 1. (as the one
opposite), with 1. hand resting on the rock ; in r. hand he holds out a phiale
containing fruit ; behind him hangs a taenia. The ground-lines are indicated
in white.
(b) Dionysiac thiasos: Composition in two rows ; on the lower one in the
centre is Dionysos moving rapidly to 1., looking back, beardless, with wreath,
drapery over 1. arm, thyrsos in r. hand, in 1. a phiale containing a plant. On the
1. is a youthful Satyr moving to 1., looking back, with wreath, white cantharos in
r. hand and situla in 1.; beyond him is a plant. They are followed by a Maenad
with hair gathered under a radiated open cap, earrings, necklace, bracelets,
long girt chiton, and sandals, holding out a wreath in r. hand ; in her 1. is a
thyrsos from which hangs a taenia ; before her are a phiale and a plant. Above
are two similar Maenads running to 1., looking back ; the first has a thyrsos in r.
hand tied with a taenia, and holds out a wreath in 1. hand ; the other has a pyxis
in r. hand containing a plant, and a situla in 1. They are followed by a youth-
ful Satyr with wreath, carrying a blazing torch in 1. hand, and in r. a phiale
containing a plant. In the field are four flowers and a taenia.
