-
Pottery: shoulder sherd (two fragments joined) of red-figured stamnos.
Dionysos pursuing a woman. Only the heads and shoulders, and the left arm of the woman are preserved. Dionysos has long hair looped up and wreathed with vine, and long wedge-shaped beard; his chest is bare, but a mantle hangs from his shoulders; with left extended he pursues the woman to right; she has her hair looped up with a broad band, on which are four marks (apparently letters), a chiton ornamented with stars, a mantle, and bracelets. She looks back at her pursuer, raising with her left the drapery from her shoulder.
Large style, with remains of archaism. Purple bracelets. Brown inner markings. The edge of the hair is drawn in thinned black lines on a brown wash. Eye archaic. The fragment is from the shoulder, and above it is a band of tongue pattern, separated from the neck by a small moulding.
