Descriptions

Description
Fragment from a closed vessel, perhaps the upper right-hand corner of the figure panel of an oinochoe. A zig-zag pattern runs along the upper edge of the fragment, with a double line separating it from the figural scene. Dionysos holds a drinking horn and looks left toward a facing satyr. A stylized vine is in the background.
