Description
Bibliography

Lekythos decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found incomplete in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

On the vase’s body, over a white background, the bearded Dionysos is depicted. He is seated on a stool, playing his lyre while two dancing Maenads holding clappers accompany him. The scene’s background is filled with ivy or grape vines, and its upper part is defined by a double row of dots and two lines. The vessel’s shoulder is decorated with short lines and schematically rendered lotus leaves.
