Description
Pottery: black-figured amphora. Designs black on red panels, with borders of lotus-buds along the top; accessories of white and purple. (a) Dionysos to right, bearded, with long hair and ivy-wreath; he wears a long chiton and striped embroidered himation; in his right hand is a cantharos, in left a vine-branch. On either side is a tall object of the shape of a caduceus; these may denote kamakes or vine-poles. (b) Similar to (a), except that Dionysos holds the vine-branch in his right hand, and a keras in his left; his chiton is embroidered with purple spots, his himation with white rosettes. On the bottom, incised characters.
