Here you find a beautiful red-figure Attic Bell-Krater dating to circa 400 BC. On one side we see a Maenad holding a Kantharos while standing in between two satyrs, the left one dancing and the right one leans against an ancient Greek column. Above the figures we see grape bunches and most of the detail in white paint. On the reverse we see two draped youths standing in place between a stele. Below the lip of the Bell Krater we see a band of laurel leaves and below the figures a meander symbol. There is a hairline fracture on the lip as seen in the photo and a small chip on the foot. Measure 26.8 cm in height and 26.1 cm in diameter. Provenance: German Art Auction. For reference see: John D. Beazley. Attic Red Figure Vase Painters. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963 John Boardman.
