Description

Fragments of body. Exterior: dancing satyr facing maenad, also dancing, or fending off his advances, with her draped left arm stretched out behind her. The ithyphallic satyr is naked, with light horizontal incision for his hairy chest. His left leg is raised, his right arm stretched out toward the maenad, and his tail bent downwards. Vines in the background. Another fragment has a tree and palmette, and at left, a piece of flowing drapery like that hanging from the maenad's arm. Interior: black glaze.

Attributed by D. von Bothmer (personal communication) to the manner of the Haimon Painter.
