From the LC Group. Standing on a high baluster foot with black tongues on the shoulder and a peaked lid with narrow baluster knob, the body of the vessel is decorated with a large head of a maenad, clutching a thyrsos on one side. Further along the bowl there is a draped female moving to the right while looking back, holding a cista and fillets in each extended hand. To the left of her there is a nude winged Eros flying to the right holding a cista and fillets. The final side shows a different type of scene consisting of a shield, a double-door, and a tympanum. This elegant and rare vessel would have been used to mix wine and water for the symposium.
