2004.5.4 Fragment exterior/ convex side: with his back to the missing handle, a satyr bends to serve a lost figure, of whom only a section of robed lower-body remains (possibly Dionysos). Beginnings of a branch with dotted leaves (typical of the Leafless Group) by satyr's right hand. Dashes of added red on satyr's beard and recliner's robe. Other details incised. Rim painted with a black band, a line of lighter wash beneath it.
42.9.1 The rim (stephane) is decorated with a double horizontal bulleted strap. The neck of side A has a broad band ornamented with elleipsoid lines with lotus leaf-shaped endings. Body: Side A: Dionysos holding leafless vine branch and kantharos between 2 dancing maenads, one of whom wears a spotted skin over her drapery. The scene is surrounded (left and right) by vertical, bulleted zones in the form of antae that seem to support a horizontal band with tongues over the heads of the figures, making the scene look as if under a building. B: 3 youths (but with beards?) wrapped in himatia, with a pair of halteres hanging between the second and third youths, relief contour on A none on B, outline of hair (and beards?) reserved. The same decoration surrounds the 3.
