On the shoulder: two quadrigae racing to the right. On the body: Dionysos, seated on a diphros, surrounded by dancing maenads. He holds a kantharos and grapevines, and wears an ivy wreath. The two maenads nearest Dionysos wear animal skins, and play krotala. In the field are meaningless inscriptions.
Ornament: tongues (alternating red, black) on the shoulder; framing the scene on the body: ivy leaves. Predella: encircled horizontal palmettes. Rays at the base.
