Dionysian Thiasos - Mykonos P.

Krater bell with continuous frieze depicting a Dionysian thiasos. Dionysus portrayed among his followers is moving to the right. He holds a vine branch, and his right hand is handing out a kantharos toward the maenad behind him. The maenad with a thyrsus in her left hand, is pouring wine to the god from an oinochoe. Maenads and satyrs dancing, some with torches, one playing aulos complete the scene.
