The obverse of this animated krater depicts
a
standing draped female, holding a wineskin
in
her outstretched left hand. A pestering satyr
stands to the right with his body turned away
from the female, as if repelled by the object
in
her hand. His left hand is held across his
chest,
while his right is outstretched towards the
female, running parallel with the direction of
his
right leg. The female’s outstretched left arm
also
runs in parallel to this leg producing a
wonderfully balanced composition.
The reverse shows two draped young men
facing
one another, separated by a staff held by the
figure to the viewer’s left. A laurel motif
encircles
the krater beneath the rim, whilst a meander
motif runs in a band beneath the figures.
