Trefoil Oinochoe (wine pitcher): Maenads and Pantheress
Greek
Black-figure oinochoe with trefoil mouth, low handle from shoulder to rim. The scene depicts two maenads who face one another dancing and holding krotala (clappers). They both wear a chiton and himation, decorated with added red and white in light stripes, dots, and rosettes. Added white is also used for the figures' flesh. At their feet, a pantheress faces right with her frontal face peering straight at the viewer. The background is populated with long, curving vines.
