Description
Content (description)
On left a bearded nude male moves right playing a tympanum. He follows a draped maenad, who gazes upwards and holds out her arms, with a thyrsus in her left hand and a snake wrapped round her right arm. A tiger bounds before her. Then a bearded male moves right holding a whip behind him and controlling on a rope a goat, which precedes him. On right a nude youth steps to left and grasps a goat by the horn, making a gesture of surprise.
