Ca. Late 4th-3rd Century BC. An Attic red-figure bell krater, decorated with a Dionysiac scene attributed most probably to a Telos painter. The vessel features a stylised wreath pattern below the rim, egg-and-dart and palmette motifs around the handles, and a Greek key ornament on the lower part of the body. On one side is a beautiful scene presenting Dionysus and a female figure, most probably Ariadne. Ariadne is the focal point of the scene, painted nude with lavish use of added white. She holds a fan and has an elaborate cloak draped at her shoulders. Dionysus sits above and to the right, nude with a headdress and holding a thyrsus. The pair is surrounded by four satyrs in various dynamic poses. On the other side is a well-known scene on Late Classical kraters, depicting three standing male figures wrapped tightly in himatia, one brandishing a ritual implement. The item is accompanied by a TL report from QED. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists.
