About the Item

Attributed to the Manner of The Antimenes Painter. Side A features bearded Dionysos at the centre, with his head turned back, clad in a himation with a patterned border over an ankle-length chiton. He wears a wreath in his hair, holds a kantharos in his left hand, and vines in his right, while facing a dancing maenad. The maenad holds crotales in her right hand, and wears a patterned chiton with a fillet in her hair, while another dancing maenad stands behind him, wearing a patterned chiton and fillet holding crotales in both hands. Side B features a departure scene with two central warriors, one wearing a high crested helmet and carrying a circular shield and spear, the other standing behind him wearing an archer's cap. An upward-gazing dog stands by their side, with a draped female behind, and an old man standing in front carrying a tall staff. With a band of three pairs of confronting lion and boar beneath the scene, rays around foot, double lotus buds and scrolling palmettes under the handles. There are tongues around the shoulder, double palmettes on the neck, details in added white and red, with graffito on the underside of foot depicting the Greek letter Delta. Provenance Axel G.
