The scene on side A shows a seated youth at center, clad in a mid thigh-length, short-sleeved garment, holding a rounded shield and two spears in his right hand, his left holds a footed kantharos, extending it towards a standing maenad, clad in full-length draped garment. She holds a wreath in her extended right hand, over the youth, and signifying victory. Her left hand casually holds a hydria by the handle, presumably she is about to fill the victor’s cup with wine. Behind the seated youth is another youth, similarly dressed and also wielding a spear and shield. Above the central figure is a long-horn cattle skull hanging on the wall. A band of key design borders below and a band of palmettes above. The neck bears a standing figure of the winged Nike, also a symbol of victory, extending a diadem to a seated youth, wearing lower body draperie, nude chested and holding a thin staff. Palmette designs adorn the areas under the handles. Side B shows two standing figures, a nude youth with draped shawl, holding a thyrsus. Opposing him is a meanad, clad in a sleeveless, full-length draped garment, extending an offering on a platter to the youth. She also clutches a thrysus in the right hand. The neck area is intricately decorated with a filler design of blooms and vines. A very beautifully painted and fine example with some restoration.
