Maenad on the left the hindquarters of a kid. With
the disengaged hand, each holds an edge of flying-
drapery. Next is a youthful male figure carrying
an inverted torch, his left baud resting on the shoulders
of a Maenad turned towards hirn, who is clad in loose
flowing garments. The type of the male figure is rather
that of Dionysos than of a Satyr. The last group
in the composition, which is almost entirely modern,
consists of a Satyr brandishing a thyrsus in his right
hand, and wearing a panther's skin, and a Maenad,
whom he approaches, raising his left hand. She looks
towards him, while running away from him. Below this
frieze the vase is encircled by winged female figures
decoratively treated, whose bodies terminate below in
marine arabesques, and who hold out a patera in each
hand. The ornaments of the mouth and handles have
been imitated from a vase in bronze or other metal.
Decorative work of the 2nd cent, a.d., based on traditions
cf the later Attic reliefs.—Towneley Coll.
Parian marble. Height, 3 feet -| inch. Restored: left arm, most of

Found by Gavin Hamilton at Monte Cagnolo, on the supposed
site of the villa of Antoninus Pius, in 1773-4- (Lansdoime House

2501. Vase. On the body a Dionysiac scene in relief; round
the neck branches of ivy. The handles terminate on the
shoulder of the vase in swans' heads ; and the form of the
vase is borrowed from a type in bronze. The Dionysiac
scene is bounded on the right by a Satyr to the right
playing on the double flute ; a panther's skin is flyiug
from his shoulders. On the left is a Maenad brandishing
