Terracotta wine-bottle decorated with followers of the wine-god Bacchus

            Mould-made pottery jar with two handles (a wine-bottle?).

On the shoulder, moulded tongue-pattern. Red unglazed ware.
On the body each side, a subject in relief:

(a) Satyr embracing a Maenad: The Maenad dances to right, holding out a thyrsos in right hand; her hair is gathered in a knot, and she wears a long chiton leaving right shoulder bare; her skirts are blown back by her rapid movement. The Satyr, who is youthful, places right arm round her waist and looks round at her; he wears a wreath, and a chlamys fastened, with a fibula on left shoulder; in left hand a pedum. On either side is a vine filling the background.

(b) Similar subject, seen in this photo; instead of the Satyr, a Seilenos with thyrsos in left hand, to which the Maenad extends her left hand over his right shoulder. She has flowing hair, and holds a phiale (offering dish) in her right hand; he wears a short chiton and anaxyrides (long, tight trousers) (?).
