Kylix (drinking cup): Seated Dionysos

On one side of the exterior, an Amazonomachy is depicted. Carrying his club, Herakles charges right toward a fleeing Amazon. The Amazon carries a shield and wears a plumed helmet, her skin colored with added white paint. A winged horse stands to the right, in front of a figure whose feet are preserved. On the opposite side of the scene, a horseman rides to the right, followed by a draped figure, partially preserved, seated on a block. The background is decorated with vines. On the other side of the exterior is the scene of Theseus and the Minotaur. In the center, Theseus slays the Minotaur, with his left arm choking the monster and simultaneously driving a sword with his right arm. Flanking the opponents on either side are women, seated on blocks. To the far left, a draped youth sits on a block while to the far right a second draped man (Dionysos?) sits on a folding stool and holds a drinking horn. Stylized vines decorate the background. On the interior in the tondo is Dionysos. The bearded god sits facing right on a stool, turning his head over his right shoulder. In his left hand is a large drinking horn. Stylized vines decorate the background.
