Interior tondo: Maenad and satyr. On the right, a maenad walks right and looks back at the satyr. She wears a long, gauzy chiton, black-bordered himation, and sakkos (cap). Her garments are heavily draped and the chiton is transparent across her chest, showing the outline of her breasts. In her right hand, the maenad holds a thyrsus. To the left, the satyr stands nude embracing the maenad with his left arm. He is nude with a tail and long beard. Behind the satyr is a drinking horn and rocky ledge.
Exterior Side A: Dionysos, maenads and satyrs. A bearded Dionysos stands in the center, flanked on either side by a pair of satyrs maenads. The god wears an ivy wreath on his head and holds a drinking cup in his right hand along with an ivy branch in his left. The satyrs are both nude with tail and beard and each maenad holds a thyrsus.
Exterior Side B: Maenads and satyrs. Three maenads and two satyrs.
The interior tondo is framed with a meander border and a series of volute-palmettes are beneath each handle. Limited use of added red delineates the maenads and satyrs's fillets.
