About this artwork

On one side of this vase, Dionysos is flanked by satyrs. The god moves to the right but looks back to the left. He holds up a kantharos (drinking cup) in his left hand. Both satyrs move to the right; that on the left is ithyphallic and plays a kithara. On the other side, a maenad wearing a sakkos (hat) and holding a krotala is flanked on either side by a satyr.
